Monrovia – Residents of Cornel West Community in the Borough of New Kru Town have raised concern over the durability of the Coastal Defense System along the shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. One of the residents, Wleh Sayon, who spoke with FrontPageAfrica suggested that the Coastal Defense System should have been erected from within the main seaway than constructing it along the shoreline of the Atlantic. Another resident, Washington Nimely expressed frustration over the manner in which sea erosion continues to encroach the Borough of New Kru Town. Nimely says the sea erosion has swept away eight different communities, including sports grounds and major streets in the Borough during the ’80s. Decontee Diagbeh says due to doubts over the effectiveness of the Coastal Defense System, they are now worried about preparing for a possible flood disaster.
