Coastal Protect Africa’s multi-purpose technology will have a clear and measurable reduction in coastal erosion, and is implementable within a 2-3 year timeframe. Highly scalable to other coasts in WACA countries of interest and beyond, CoastalProtect Africa will deliver much needed socio-economic and environmental co-benefits.

Our proposal is also a true, sustainable and innovative way of a Nature Based coastal-protection Solution (NBS). A method to re-establish lost coastal-ecosystems & biodiversity, both above and below water and a transparent solution of true value-creation for coastal citizens, generating socio-economic benefits of ecosystem goods and services, including: seafood, building materials, herbal medicines, nutrient recycling, carbon storage & uptake, pollution filtering, reducing social unjustice and bringing new and rewarding employment, requiring new skills for the coastal-communities, in a way never ever before designed and realised by men anywhere.

The SLAMDAM-technology, developed in The Netherlands, is an innovative and low-cost technological solution to enhance resilience against floods. The product is a mobile emergency barrier, which can easily be deployed when there is a threat of flooding. The same technology can also be used to store water and other fluids vapor tight to improve access to water in times of drought.
