Rapid climate changes globally have contributed to significant degradation of the environment. The current anthropogenic activities have also transformed the planet which has brought about uncalculated effects to the natural ecosystem .
Issues of coastal erosion are a worldwide problem. claimed that about 70% of sandy beaches around the globe are recessional. It was also recorded by that almost 85% of US East Coast barrier beaches have been eroded during the last 100years and also serious erosion has been recorded in other places This has drawn the attention of various international organizations and governments to deal with this situation by instituting different coastal erosion management
strategies and policies. However, many other places especially third world countries still experience severe coastal erosion.
According to, coastal erosion is probably the most serious environmental problem facing West African coast. This phenomenon is particularly more pronounced in Ghana especially on the eastern shores. Specifically, the most severe and internationally known areas are located in the Volta estuary basin,at Keta and Ada. This poses great challenge to the nation.
In the early years, these cases were seen by most Ghanaians living along the coast as a natural phenomenon; hence, much attention was not given to its development.
