Abstract

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 14 is focused on the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine resources. Specifically, target 14.1 is aimed at preventing and significantly reducing marine pollution of all kinds in particular from land-based sources including marine debris and nutrient pollution. Aquatic ecosystems in Nigeria are diverse including freshwaters, brackish and coastal waters as well as marine ecosystems. They support a diversity of animal species which serve as food for man and support ecosystem functioning. Furthermore, these ecosystems provide significant services to man including transport, abstraction of water for domestic and industrial use, power generation, reservoir of hydrocarbon deposits which has been the backbone of the Nigerian economy for over five (5) decades (Akinlo et al., 2012), food security, among others. However, the pollution of these ecosystems has been reported by many researchers over the years and remains the subject of studies to date. Aquatic ecosystems such as those in the Niger Delta, Lagos lagoon, Ogun River, River Onne, Calabar River, among others have been reported to have been subjected to various anthropogenic influences from point and diffuse sources with consequent adverse impacts on water quality, aquatic biota, other wildlife, livestock and even humans (Sogbanmu et al., 2016; Ubiogoro and Adeyemo, 2017; Ibor et al., 2017, Adeyemo et al., 2019).
可持续发展目标14 -水下生命:尼日利亚的趋势和轨迹
联合国可持续发展目标14的重点是保护和可持续利用海洋和海洋资源。具体而言,具体目标14.1旨在防止和大幅减少各种海洋污染,特别是来自陆地的污染,包括海洋垃圾和营养物污染。尼日利亚的水生生态系统多种多样,包括淡水、咸淡水和沿海水域以及海洋生态系统。它们支持着作为人类食物和支持生态系统功能的动物物种的多样性。此外,这些生态系统为人类提供了重要的服务,包括交通运输、家庭和工业用水的抽取、发电、碳氢化合物沉积物的储存库(50多年来一直是尼日利亚经济的支柱)(Akinlo等人,2012)、粮食安全等。然而,这些生态系统的污染多年来已经被许多研究人员报道过,并且至今仍是研究的主题。据报道,尼日尔三角洲、拉各斯泻湖、奥贡河、奥内河、卡拉巴尔河等水生生态系统受到来自点源和扩散源的各种人为影响,从而对水质、水生生物群、其他野生动物、牲畜甚至人类产生不利影响(Sogbanmu等人,2016;Ubiogoro and Adeyemo, 2017;Ibor等人,2017;Adeyemo等人,2019)。
