Fishing boats lie by the seashore in Aiyetoro, Ilaje Local Government Area, Ondo State. In Ondo State, communities along the Atlantic coast have endured years of sea incursions caused by rising sea levels and intense storms. Funmilayo Rasaki, 75, lives in a small brick house a few steps away from the seashore in Aiyetoro, a coastal community in the southern senatorial district of Ondo State. She had a small farm on which she cultivated crops adapted to the high tide of the sea in the area. She planted the crops in mounds that raised them above sea level and provided refuge for the crops. But all that stopped in 2019 when a sea surge swept through the community and left it in ruins.
