Abstract
This study uses descriptive statistics to assess changes in mangrove cover in Nigeria and finds an overall loss of -2.15%. Regional differences show that Region C has had a more marked decline (-3.75%). Urbanization (-0.68) and aquaculture expansion (-0.45) have negative associations that are consistent with global trends and highlight the challenges posed by human activity. A positive correlation (0.28) with average temperature is surprising because it points to a complex relationship. Comparisons with earlier research emphasize regional differences while highlighting recurring global tendencies. It is advised to use customized conservation tactics, taking into account the unique difficulties of each context. The resolution of the picture is limited, and for a more thorough understanding, socioeconomic elements should be included in future studies. This research adds to the conversation about Nigerian mangrove conservation.
