Abidjan: Cocody Bay in Abidjan, Ivory Coast

2012/12/30

 

Remediation project BAY COCODY 

We have a large project starting soon in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, where we will clean and reconstruct a bay. The bay in question is Cocody Bay. This bay has seen its better days and the country wants to restore it to its former self and we’ll make sure it gets done. Cocody Bay today is not as beautiful as it was once upon a time, it is because of the extreme pollution in the form of fertilizer, sewage and other debris that comes during rain periods with flood waters.
