The Volta, Greater Accra, Central and Western regions have been identified as the most critically affected areas, necessitating a comprehensive coastal management strategy to guide interventions. Deputy Minister of Works, Housing and Water Resources, Ms Gizella Tetteh-Agbotui, disclosed this during a visit to the Ghana Hydrological Authority (GHA) in Accra.",
