This complex four-year project involved construction of a multi-component shore protection system to maintain the separation of the fresh water Keta Lagoon and the sea:

• Construction of an 8.3-km road/causeway between Keta and Hlorve, reestablishing a roadway lost to erosion.
• Sea defense works to limit further erosion by stabilizing the shoreline with a large revetment and six headland groynes, a feeder beach and beach nourishment placed between the groyne bays from Keta to Hlorve.
• Construction of a flood control structure to provide inhabitants around the lagoon with relief from extreme flooding conditions.
• Land reclamation from the lagoon in the area of Keta, Vodza and Kedzi, providing safe areas where housing and businesses could relocate free from the threat of encroaching sea waters.
