It covers the coastal region of West Africa within 200 km of the coast. Population growth in the coastal zone is mostly a function of migration related to coastal economic activities; this indicator provides insights into highly exposed coastal areas that not only have high levels of economic activity but also high population growth and migration. Purpose: To assess relative levels of economic activity in the coastal zone of West Africa.
