Ocean Conservation and Stewardship in Nigeria

This project aims to promote environmental stewardship and good practices through widespread sensitization, education and on-the-ground actions. Our efforts focus on reducing pollution from land-based sources, improving waste management systems, implementing effective mechanisms, and raising awareness about the impact of marine litter. This project to reduce marine litter in the coastal communities in Nigeria is designed to implement a sustained public awareness and outreach campaign that will induce behavioural change and attitudes towards management of land-based waste that ends up in the seas around these communities as marine waste and which have devastating effects on marine life and other coastal and marine resources. This project is an action plan to tackle the challenge of marine litter and plastics to ensure cleaner seas and ocean for healthy living and conservation of the marine ecosystem.
