High tides

Eastern parts of Nauru island hampered by high tides

Nauru Media News – NTV reports high waves pounded the low-lying shorelines of these communities then washed ashore bringing deluge onto the main ring road.

Fortunately they was no major damage to houses in Anibare community however waves did wash ashore and into a home in Menen bringing rubbish and lots of coconuts.

According to Nauru Emergency Services Secretary Roy Harris, “most of the areas affected were low lying areas at 3 meters with the beach at a slope making it easy for the waves to crash and wash ashore”.
