HIGH tidal waves sweeping the coastline of the Western Region have rendered many people homeless and caused damage to many canoes at Dixcove in the Ahanta West District.
More than 500 houses have so far been damaged by the high waves.
The community was selected in 2008 as one of 14 other landing beaches to be provided fishing ports with quays, administrative buildings, net mending sheds, ice making plants, fuel depots, toilets and power stations.
The project is, however, yet to begin.
The chief of Lower Dixcove, Nana Kwesi Agyemang, described the situation as serious and expressed the fear that there could be an outbreak of a disease.
He said the only solution was the construction of the sea defence and landing beach, as well as the relocation of some of the houses that were on the verge of collapse.
