Title:
Abstract:	Die Küste Togos am Golf von Guinea in Westafrika verfügt über keinen natürlichen Schutz, z. B. durch vorgelagerte Inseln oder felsige Uferabschnitte. Der gesamte rd. 65 km lange Küstenstreifen besteht aus Sand und ist daher dem Wellenangriff des Atlantiks und der überwiegend vorhandenen West-Ost-Strömung ausgesetzt. Da die Uferbereiche traditionell dicht bewohnt sind, stellen Landverluste durch Erosion ein großes Problem für die Bevölkerung und die Infrastruktur dar. Die Erosionsproblematik wird daher von der togoischen Regierung sehr intensiv verfolgt. Von den rd. 6 bis 7 Millionen Togoern leben rd. 2,5 Millionen im Großraum Lomé direkt an der Küste. Durch den Bau zusätzlicher und die Rehabilitierung vorhandener Buhnen sollen langfristig der Küs tenabschnitt Togos stabilisiert und die Schutzziele erreicht werden. Die technische Umsetzung der von der INROS LACKNER AG geplanten und zu überwachenden Küstenschutzmaßnahmen wird detailliert beschrieben. Coastal protection measures in Togo - stabilization of erosionthreatened sections of the beach and protection of the container terminal Lomé by means of a sea groyne. The coast of Togo at the Gulf of Guinea, situated in West Africa is not sheltered by natural protection, such as offshore islands or rocky shorelines. The approximately 65 km long Atlantic Ocean coastline does mainly consist of sand, which is prone to erosion due to wave attacks and the prevailing west-east current. With a traditionally dense populated coast, the land losses caused by erosion constitute a main issue for the Togolese as well as for the infrastructure in general. The problems caused by erosion are therefore vigorously pursued by the Togolese Government. Greater Lomé, located at the coast, accommodates 2,5 Million of the 6 to 7 Million Togolese people. The construction of additional and maintaining of existing groins would stabilize Togo’s coastline. The article describes the technical implementation of coastal protection measures designed and supervised by INROS LACKNER AG.
