According to the International Coral Reef Information Network, a quarter of

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Nigeria has been suffering the negative environmental consequences of oil development since oil was discovered in Nigeria (Badejo and Nwilo 2008). The growth of the country’s petroleum industry combined with an increasing growth rate in human population and a lack of enforcement of environmental regulations and commitment on the part of government has led to substantial
Usually, water pollution means the presence of several substances in water that built up to the point that they cause problems for animals and people. Some inland waters can clean up certain amount of pollution harmlessly. For example If we pour a cup of black ink into a river , the ink would quickly disappear because of the larger volume of clean water of the river. However the ink is still in the water but in such low concentrations that it is not visible. So at these low concentrations the chemicals
Public opinion is defined as a comprehensive collection of people’s views, beliefs and attitudes about a specific issue expressed by a considerable section of a society. While the American political scientist, Valdimer Orlando Key ascribed public opinion as “opinions held by private persons which governments find it prudent to heed to” in 1961, it has been evidenced that public opinion is a major force which is not limited only to elections and politics but it is a power to be reckoned in fields

And as a famous naturalist comments on the impact of plastic waste in the ocean, Sir David Attenborough quote: ““There is no ‘away’ because plastic is so permanent and so indestructible.

As well as, that will influence the health of the human and organism inside the sea. Therefore, to address maritime security concern requires international efforts. To scope the maritime safety and health issues

The recombinant DNA technology has made it possible for an individual to isolate one gene or any other segment of DNA, enabling researchers to determine its nucleotide sequence, study the transcripts, mutate the transcript in a highly specific ways, and reinsert the modified sequence into a living organism. According to phenotypic effect and
