POLLUTION ON NIGER DELTA SHORELINES via thisdaylive
What killed the swarm of fish washed up the shorelines? The relevant authorities should investigate the cause
It is noteworthy that NOSDRA is working in collaboration with other relevant agencies of government that equally have mandates on the nation’s territorial waters, particularly the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency , Nigerian Institute of Oceanography and Marine Research , the Federal Institute of Fisheries Research and National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency .
Experts recommend that samples of the dead fishes should undergo specific scientific analysis, and that if they were well-preserved it would show the compounds present in their flesh. They further recommend analysis of the fishes’ species that survived in the same water to compare the compounds present in both, specifically to give an insight of what happened.
