dc.description.abstract	Ghana's coastal zone faces a looming crisis from sea-level rise, demanding urgent adaptation measures. Despite government initiatives, rural communities are disproportionately affected and underserved. Through a novel approach integrating FIS, UAV tech, ethnography and expert insights, this study examines adaptation dynamics in three coastal villages, exposing gaps in current strategies. The findings underscore the imperative of tailored, community-centered interventions to fortify resilience and bridge policy-practice divides.	en_US
