Trans-Sand: a Transnational by Passing Scheme Funded by a Public Private Dredging Fund

In order to tackle coastal erosion adjacent to seaports in West Africa, we propose to restore the sand balance through the implementation of a sand bypassing scheme. This solution, based on proven technology, will have direct benefits for the ports (less sedimentation) and coastal communities (less erosion). The solution is scalable to multiple West African seaports, experiencing erosion problems.
