Breakwater urgently needed to halt erosion of beaches in Hulhudhoo, Meedhoo

A solution for the problem of beach erosion in both Meedhoo and Hulhudhoo islands in Addu atoll was to have breakwaters built around the affected areas as soon as possible, the Island Offices in both islands have said. Reporters who visited the island on Tuesday to see the erosion were shocked at the extent at which beach erosion had affected some regions of the beach. It was also apparent that Meedhoo was the more severe case of erosion.
