Towns swallowed up by the sea

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The existence of entire towns is under threat from water levels rising. We visit St Louis island in Senegal, West Africa, where the sea is eating in to the coastline and threatening the jobs of those who make a living near the water. The 麻豆社's Marie Keyworth finds out how badly the former capital of Senegal is losing to the elements. (Image: Eroded coastline in Senegal, West Africa. Credit: 麻豆社/ Joshua Thorpe)
