1. Story
2. Sand filling and the construction of the seaward revetment began off Victoria Island in Lagos, on a scheme presented as both coastal defence for the existing city and a new commercial district. Retrieved sources give the start variously as 2008 or 2009 and this record does not resolve it.

24. Evidence
25. Supports the ten-square-kilometre reclaimed area, the roughly 250,000-resident plan, the approximately 8.5-kilometre revetment, and the contested reports of accelerated erosion along the adjacent coast since construction began. V55 verification basis: the project parameters are the developer's own published figures, retrieved in summary; the erosion claims come from reporting quoting residents and researchers, and no coastal-process study was retrieved.
