Problems of Fishing in Nigeria - SS3 Geography Lesson Note

Fishing in Nigeria faces several challenges:

• Overfishing: Excessive fishing can deplete fish stocks, making it harder to catch fish in the future.

 

• Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing: This undermines sustainable fishing practices and conservation efforts.

 

• Pollution: Water pollution from industrial and agricultural activities can harm aquatic ecosystems and fish populations.

 

• Climate Change: Changing weather patterns and warming waters can disrupt fish habitats and migration patterns.

 

• Lack of Infrastructure: Many fishing communities lack access to proper storage, processing facilities, and market access.
