The continuous explorations of oil both in the offshore and onshore areas of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria have destroyed the marine ecosystem of the entire region. During oil exploration and drilling a lot of environmental problems occurs as a result of many factors such as oil spillage, oil leak, pipeline vandalizing. When any of this occurs around oil prone areas especially around the onshore areas it causes massive environmental disaster which eventually leads to death of marine animals and destruction of their natural habitat which affects the economy of the people living around there and the biodiversity of the nation as a whole.
