Progress in Grand Lahou, Ivory Coast! DEME’s nature-based coastal protection project is well underway, aiming to stabilize the sand barrier between the Tagba Lagoon and the Atlantic Ocean. This vital initiative helps safeguard the Grand Lahou shoreline from erosion, flooding, and sea level rise.
Together with the Lahou-Kpanda community, The World Bank, and local authorities, we’re building a resilient future, with nearly 200 experts from 11 nationalities united under our One DEME, One Team spirit.
The project also helps protect local fauna – thanks to our turtle conservation program with NGO SOS Dassioko, hundreds of eggs have already been safely protected.
With ongoing projects in Guinea, Gabon, and Nigeria, DEME proudly continues its coastal protection legacy across Africa.
