Ghana’s coastline is 550 kilometers wide. About 7.5 million people live along the coast of Ghana. This has made the interaction of man with the ocean unavoidable.
But this friendly relationship seems to be turning hostile due to man’s activities such as the dumping of plastic waste into the ocean.
This is an existential threat to lives and properties along the coast but what is more worrying is the activities of individuals engaging in sand mining, thus robbing the sea of its buffer in broad daylight.
They scoop the beach sand into several sacks and sell the sacks of sand for construction works. Although beach sand mining is banned in Ghana, the activity is still rife.
In this Joy Prime’s latest documentary, Emmanuel Dzivenu explored how the illegal practice of sand winning is worsening the existential threat of climate change and rising sea levels.
