Several homes, fishing boats, and other properties have been ruined by ocean tides along the coast of the Greater Accra Region.
The latest case, which occurred as a result of a rise in the level of the sea on Sunday September 5, left scores of fishermen counting their losses at the Jamestown fishing hub in Accra.
Ayittey Mensah, one of fishermen affected explained that he was the sole breadwinner of a family of 15. He lost two outboard motors, fishing nets, and canoes among other items.
“I am distraught and do not know what to do now. I cannot even sleep because my business and livelihood is ruined. I have children and school has reopened and I do not know what to even do,” he added.
According to him, the value of items destroyed can run into GHS100,000. He pleaded with the government to come to their aid to help them re-establish their fishing business.
