Houses on the shore seem to have been ripped open by a giant claw. The corner of an abandoned school is gutted, leaving what looks like a gigantic bite mark. All that is left of a nearby mosque is a flattened pile of concrete blocks and twisted iron rods. The culprit behind destruction in Saint-Louis, on the northern edge of Senegal’s Atlantic Coast, is not some mythical sea monster. It’s the ocean itself. At a rate that is increasingly worrying to residents and officials, waves are lapping at buildings on the shoreline. “2 months ago, we were standing here, under a roof,” Massamba Diaw, 70, said one recent morning.

Many who live near the shoreline in Saint-Louis are from the Lebou ethnic group, traditionally a fishing community. The ocean might have destroyed their homes, but it’s also a source of food, income and community. “In Saint-Louis, if fishing thrives, everything thrives,” the deputy mayor said. “But if fishing hurts, then everything hurts.” @janehahn took this photo in Saint-Louis, Senegal’s former colonial capital.
