country of Senegal say the coastline there is disappearing at an average rate of between one and two metres a year.\u003cbr/\u003eSea-level rise is one of the key topics on the programme for the scientific congress this week, and its destructive effects can be seen at several points along the Senegalese coast.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Senegalese government is building sea-walls in areas along the coast it believes are most vulnerable, to the advancing sea. \u003cbr/\u003eBut in the coastal village of Popenguine, 40 kilometres (25 miles) south of the capital Dakar, houses along this stretch of beach have been abandoned and left to the waters.\u003cbr/\u003eLocal fisherman, Ibrahima Ndione, 41, said he used to play football here when the shoreline had a wide sandy beach.\u003cbr/\u003eBut now the sea reaches right up to a row of houses, destroyed over time by the waves.\u003cbr/\u003eProfessor Isabel Niang, of Dakar's Anta Diop University, is an expert on coastal erosion and says
