Residents of Salakope and Amutsinu Agavedzi in Keta South Municipality, Volta Region, are satisfied with the progress of Phase II of the Blekusu Sea Defense Project, aimed at protecting their towns from coastal erosion. The project includes the construction of a sea wall and rock placement to prevent further erosion and is expected to be completed by 2029.

It aims to safeguard eight kilometers of coastline, enhance local livelihoods, and support economic growth through improved fishing and tourism infrastructure. The initiative, awarded to Amandi Holding Limited, is seen as a vital step in addressing long-standing issues of displacement and environmental threat caused by sea erosion. The project also includes the development of facilities such as fish markets and waste management systems.
