Abstract

Nigeria lies between latitudes 4o 16'–13o 52' N and longitudes 2o 96'–14o 37' E. It is bordered by the Republic of Benin to the west, Niger to the north, Cameroon to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. It has a coastline of 853 km. In 1978, Nigeria declared its 200-nauticalmiles exclusive economic zone (EEZ), which covers an area of 210,900 sq km over which it has sovereign rights for the purpose of exploiting, conserving and managing its fisheries resources. Nigeria is also endowed with a large number of brackishwater bodies, including estuaries, creeks and lagoons.
