1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Marine pollution is classed as
point source or non-point source. Point source pollution occurs when
there is a single, identifiable, and localized source of the pollution.
That is, "point source" means any discernible, confined and discrete
conveyance, including but not limited to any pipe, ditch, channel,
tunnel, conduit, well, discrete fissure, container, rolling stock,
concentrated animal feeding operation, or vessel or other floating
craft, from which pollutants are or may be discharged. It is in view of
the above that the researcher intends to investigate the impact of
marine pollution on shipping operation in the south-south geopolitical
zone.
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The main purpose of the
study is to ascertain the impact of marine pollution on shipping
operation in south-south geopolitical zone in Nigeria. But to aid the
completion of the study, the researcher intends to achieve the following
sub-objective;
i) To ascertain the impact marine pollution on shipping operation in Nigeria
ii) To investigate if there is any significant relationship between marine pollution and shipping operation.
iii) To ascertain the effect of marine pollution on the aquatic life
iv) To proffer possible solution to the identified problem
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
To aid the completion of the study, the following research question was formulated by the researcher;
i) Is there any effect of marine pollution on the shipping operation in south-south?
ii) Is there any relationship between marine pollution and shipping operation
iii) What is the effect of marine pollution on the health of see fairer?
1.5 STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESES
For the successful completion of the study; the researcher formulated the following hypotheses;
H0: marine pollution does not have any significant impact on shipping operation in the South-south geopolitical zone
H1: marine pollution does have a significant impact on shipping operation in the South-south geopolitical zone
H02: there is no significant relationship between marine pollution and shipping operation
H2: there is a significant relationship between marine pollution and shipping operation
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
It
is believed that at the completion of the study, the findings will be
of great importance to the management of maritime industry, as the study
seek to highlight the dangers of marine pollution on shipping
activities; the study will also be of great importance to the national
environmental agency as the study seek to enumerate the dangers of
marine pollution on the environment, The study will also be of great
importance to student who intend to embark on a study in similar topic
as the findings of the study will serve as a pathfinder to them. Finally
the study will be of great importance to students, teachers and the
general public as the finding will add to the pool of existing
literature.
