Mariama,
Sorry for not getting back to you earlier on this issue. I have not had much time to do a follow-up with
Amadou Taal who was one of the local consultant but i will ask Sidi Sanneh to throw light on the issue since
the project i think was funded by the ADB. The  study has already been done and awaiting review and
additional funding for implementation. I am certain that Mr Touray appreciate coastal erosion as a priority
area considering the damage and effects it has on our coastal area  and most hotels within Banjul and the
greater Banjul area. Once more my apologies.

Chi Jamma,
Bro Sheikh Tejan
