The walk from the main road to the ocean is probably half a mile long; but not for long. A few years from now, we may just be driving along that coastal highway with the sea in full, unhindered view. The sea has waged war against Liberia, and Liberia is not fighting back. Mansions that used to exist along the coastline have been battered by the sea as if ravaged by weapons of war. At the same time, we in Liberia are exacerbating the problem, almost inviting sea erosion by mining all of the sand that protects our coastline.
