AbstractMarine
pollution is problematic and its impacts are having devastating and destructive
effects on marine resources and the ecosystems. The main objective of
this study is to evaluate the effect of marine pollution on coastal environment
in Nigeria Seaports. The specific objectives are
to: (i) examine the effect of ocean dumping pollution on marine
personnel in Nigeria Seaports, (ii) ascertain the effect of land runoff
pollution on aquatic resource in Nigeria Seaports (iii) determine the effect of
ocean mining pollution on marine ecosystem in Nigeria Seaports. The research
design of the study was descriptive survey research method.
The population of the study consists of 3 sea ports in Nigeria. The sample size
of 371 respondents was drawn from population of the study which consists of
5,168 life support technicians and marine engineers of the selected sea port;
Onne sea port, Calabar sea port and Delta sea port. Research questions were
answered using mean score and standard deviation. The hypotheses stated were
tested using single regression statistics. The study revealed that there was negative
significant effect of ocean dumping pollution on marine personnel in Nigeria
Seaports (t-statistics (43.312) > P-value (0.000), it also revealed that
there was negative significant effect of land runoff pollution on aquatic
resource in Nigeria Seaports (t-statistics (48.491) > P-value (0.000), the
study also revealed that there was negative significant effect of ocean mining
pollution on marine ecosystem in Nigeria Seaports (t-statistics (52.292) >
P-value (0.000). The study recommended that making
people aware of the problem is the first step to prevent water pollution.
Hence, importance of water and pollution prevention measures should be a part
of awareness and education programme by Creating awareness by
re-educating the citizen, ship owners, crew of a ship, oil exploring companies,
and other corporate bodies, to be concerned and responsible for the respect and
protection of the marine environment in Nigeria. Get the Complete Project Material Now!!!
