The Georgetown seawall closely follows the coastline

Like much of the coastal areas of Guyana, Georgetown lies under sea level - it is protected by a seawall which by now does more than just protecting against the Atlantic.
The seawall is a concrete structure, closely following the coastline. It is a low wall: when you stand in front of it, you can easily see the ocean behind it. It has not always been able to protect Georgetown against high tides: even after completion of the seawall in the 19th century, the city has known several severe floods. On the other hand, when there is excessive rainfall, the water has to be directed to the ocean. For this reason, the seawall has so-called kokers, which control in- and outflow of water through the seawall. Currently, it is being debated whether the capital should be moved more inland as a safer place for its inhabitants. It would mean reversing the decision of the French in 1782 to move the capital from a location upstream the Demerara river.
