The big problem at the moment is the erosion of the coastline of West Africa. 40% of the population live within 100km of the sea. The sea has been eroding the land at an average of 1 or 2 meters a year, but there ahve been instances of up to 100 meters a year! If we factor in the expected rise in sea levels of up to a meter over the next 10 years, this encroachment will be very much greater.
