# The Western Cape government and Mossel Bay Municipality have agreed to install sandbags at Diaz Beach as a temporary measure to reduce the risk of coastal erosion. The sandbags are meant to reduce the risk of dunes collapsing, help protect nearby properties, infrastructure and the public while a permanent solution is considered. The long-term solution will be decided through an environmental assessment and could include removing the sandbags or adding more sand to the beach.
