A researcher from the Department of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences at the University of Cape Coast, Fredrick Ekow Jonah, has indicated that attempts to combat erosion from tidal waves\u00a0will yield results\u00a0when people along the coast refrain from practices that encourage erosion.<\/p>\n
According to him, activities like illegal mining, sand winning and felling of trees at the shore culminate in the destruction of communities\u00a0by tidal waves.<\/p>\n
