Why The Need
The need for capacity
building in the marine
environment sector is a
subset of the Agency’s
Agenda on capacity
building in the maritime
sector.
FINAL GOAL
To have a crop of well
qualified, exposed and
experienced man-power
that will deliver clean blue
ocean, fit for purpose in
the country and also meet
global need in this area

Systematic Approach Towards Knowledge
Delivery, Cont’d This program is expected to
give participants in-depth
tutorial and practical
knowledge on chemical,
physical, and biological
interactions in the oceans
and coastal waters that
advance understanding of
marine environmental
processes, dynamics, ecology
,functions/importance ,
impact and how to ensure
sustainability amongst

NIGERIA is a coastal
State with about 853
kilometers coastline.
The country's Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ)
covers a total area of
approximately 315,950
nautical square
kilometers. With a vast
environment subtending
enormous resources

The Atlantic ocean
The Atlantic Ocean is the
world's second largest ocean,
behind the Pacific Ocean. With
a total area of about
106,400,000 square kilometers
(41,100,000 sq mi)
The Atlantic Ocean occupies an
elongated, S-shaped basin
extending longitudinal between
Eurasia and Africa to the east,
and the Americas to the west.
As one component of the
interconnected global ocean, it
is connected in the north to
the Arctic Ocean, to the Pacific
Ocean in the southwest, the
Indian Ocean in the southeast,

7. Importance of the
ocean(Nigeria as a case point)
source of atmospheric moisture.
 For recreation.
Abundant biodiversity e.g: fauna and flora hence rich
source of food, medicine etc.
Safe navigational water for transportation and
recreation .
Huge deposit of crude oil and other mineral
resources.

8. Examples of activities going on
in the ocean that may lead to
pollution
Fishing
Dredging
Drilling/mining
Attraction of coastal settlement
High traffic of vessels
Dumping
Bunkering
Researches etc.

9. Categories of ocean pollution
based on source
FROM SHIPS:
Gaseous emission
Ballast water:
Bilge water

10. Categories of ocean pollution
based on source, cont’dOil spills:
Sewage from black water and grey water
Solid waste.
Bilge water.
 FROM LAND (Anthropogenic):
Solid waste dumping (garbage)
Municipal waste discharge especially from industrialised cities.
Agricultural toxic waste e.g fertiliser residue, herbicides etc.

12. Some Consequences of marine
pollutionDecomposition of organic matter causing BOD,
anoxic conditions.
Creation of micro climate and mutations
Loss of biodiversity
Bio-accumulation in food chain/food web with man
as the ultimate recipient.
Spread of disease.
Impairment of navigation by ocean dumping

13. NATIONAL EFFORT TO
PREVENT AND CONTROL
MARINE POLLUTION
Establishment of MDAs with responsibilities to
pollution management with NIMASA as the national
authority charged with overall management of the
marine Environment in Nigeria. The Agency draws its
statutory powers from the provisions of sections 335
of the Merchant Shipping Act and sections 22(2); 23
(9) (b) of the NIMASA Act, 2007.

14. NATIONAL EFFORT TO
PREVENT AND CONTROL
MARINE POLLUTION
INSTRUMENTS OF INTERVENTION DERIVED FROM
INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS AND
REGULATIONS:
International Maritime Conventions Organizations
(IMO)- main reference document
United Nations Environmental Protection Agency (UNEP)
Documents
United Nation World Summit On Sustainable
Development (UNWSSD) Outcome Documents e.g
Agenda 21 of WSSD 1992 etc.

15. IMO CONVENTIONS
The Oil Pollution Convention 1954 – This
Convention gave birth to all the Marine pollution
Conventions. It was first amended in 1962 but the
wreck of Torrey Canyon in 1967 resulted in a series of
conventions, including further amendments to the
1954 Convention which was adopted in 1969.
 The International Convention relating to
Intervention on the High Seas in Cases of Oil
Pollution Casualties, 1969 – established the rights of
coastal States to intervene in incidents on high seas
which are likely to result in oil pollution. It entered

16. IMO CONVENTIONS
The International Convention on Oil
Pollution Preparedness, Response and Co-
operation (OPRC), 1990. This Convention is
designed to improve the ability of nations to cope
with a sudden emergency knowing that pollution
is trans-boundary. It provides possible avenue of
co-operation among nations in the event of major
oil pollution incidents. It entered into force in
May 1995.
The Protocol on Preparedness, Response and
Co-operation to Pollution Incidents by

17. IMO CONVENTIONS
The International Convention on Liability and Compensation
for Damage in Connection with the Carriage of Hazardous and
Noxious Substances by Sea, 1996 (HNS Convention). This
Convention will provide compensation for damage resulting from
maritime transport of hazardous and noxious substances when it
enters into force. It establishes a two-tier system for providing
compensation. It covers not only pollution aspects but also other risks
such as fire and explosion.
The International Convention on Civil Liability for Bunker Oil
Pollution 2001 (Bunkers Convention). This Convention which will
enter into force on the 21st November, 2008, provides compensation
for oil pollution damage arising from bunker oil.
The International Convention for the Control and Management
of Ship’s Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM), 2004. This

substances in bulk) regulations, 2012
Merchant shipping (Liability and compensation)
regulations, 2012

19. Compliance Monitoring and
Enforcement of RegulationsParticipants are expected at the end of the program to
be well acquainted with scientific and technical aspect
of each regulations and mode of enforcement through:
implementation of Flag, Coastal/State Compliance
enforcement approach, issuance of statutory documents
e.g CLC certificate, SOPEP manual and other on-board
record books and emergency preparedness plan;
management of waste reception facilities etc.
