The ecosystem is important for the different services it provides, such as agriculture, industry, fishing, food, drinking water, wood, shelter, medicine, employment, and esthetics. Petroleum production in the region is a major environmental issue, which impacts on the sustainable provision of these ecosystem services (ES), particularly among the resource-dependent poor communities. There is a paucity of information on the key drivers, including soil and coastal erosion, flooding, air and water pollution, gas flaring, and climate change. These problems occur at different gradients and variations in space and time that is not well understood. Mapping and modeling are important for the understanding of these drivers, including risks and trends over time. There are now different tools and methods for assessing ecosystem health across diverse landscapes, which include the use of remote sensing and geographical information systems, ecological models, participatory approaches, and expert opinion. Ecological models such as Ecosim with Ecopath, IMPACT, PODIUM, WaterGAP, and EcoServ-GIS are simplified mathematical expression of the complex interactions between the physical, biological, and socioeconomic elements of the ecosystems. Mapping and modeling of ES would enable evaluation of costs and benefits of various ES and provide useful information for decision makers for proper planning.}, language = {en} } @incollection{AkanniOnwuteakaUwagbaeetal., author = {Akanni, Adeniran and Onwuteaka, John and Uwagbae, Michael and Mulwa, Richard and Elegbede, Isa Olalekan}, title = {The Values of Mangrove Ecosystem Services in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria}, series = {The Political Ecology of Oil and Gas Activities in the Nigerian Aquatic Ecosystem}, booktitle = {The Political Ecology of Oil and Gas Activities in the Nigerian Aquatic Ecosystem}, editor = {Ndimele, Prince Emeka}, publisher = {Academic Press}, address = {London [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-0-12-809399-3}, doi = {10.1016/B978-0-12-809399-3.00025-2}, pages = {387 -- 437}, abstract = {The mangrove ecosystems in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria play a very important ecological role while providing a variety of services for human well-being.

However, mangroves in this region have been impacted in recent times due to various anthropogenic activities, including oil pollution. In achieving the goal of a well-managed mangrove ecosystem services trade-off, we have come up with the analysis of the cost of the value of mangrove ecosystem services in the Niger Delta. The results from the valuation of mangroves in the Niger Delta are comparable with other estimates obtained elsewhere in the world. Since many stakeholders derive their livelihood from these mangrove ecosystem services, the threats to the mangroves demand immediate and urgent attention through development of conservation policy options with the involvement of community members for mangrove conservation.}, language = {en} } @incollection{OnuohaElegbede, author = {Onuoha, Mgbeodichinma Eucharia and Elegbede, Isa Olalekan}, title = {The Oil Boom Era: Socio-Political and Economic Consequences}, series = {The Political Ecology of Oil and Gas Activities in the Nigerian Aquatic Ecosystem}, booktitle = {The Political Ecology of Oil and Gas Activities in the Nigerian Aquatic Ecosystem}, editor = {Ndimele, Prince Emeka}, publisher = {Academic Press}, address = {London [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-0-12-809399-3}, doi = {10.1016/B978-0-12-809399-3.00006-9}, pages = {83 -- 99}, abstract = {The understanding of the political economy of a nation is fundamental in order to effectively handle the political and economic situations of the environment in which the nation operates.

The switch from agribusiness to oil seems to be a better channel of augmenting Nigeria's income, but the joy of this new innovation was shortened due to various community crises and environment issues. This chapter seeks to access the harm of over dependency on oil in Nigeria, the social-political and economic consequences of the oil boom in Nigeria since its discovery. The study showed that the political fighters continue to control the people and the political procedures to achieve their selfish plan. On the other hand, the public remained helpless and wallow in abject poverty.

This study is an attempt to evaluate the level of consideration of climate change in the EIA process in Nigeria, with particular focus on the Niger Delta region. The result of this quantitative research shows that there is a poor political will to address climate change, as reflected in the absence of climate change requirements in the EIA guidelines of Nigeria. Although, there is a growing trend in the pattern of consideration of climate change in the EIA procedures, the overall level of consideration is still a far cry from the requirements if EIA is to be considered to be an important tool in addressing challenges of climate change in Nigeria.}, language = {en} } @misc{KiesAhmedElegbedeetal., author = {Kies, Fatima and Ahmed, Kerfouf and Elegbede, Isa Olalekan and Matemilola, Saheed and R{\´i}os-Escalante, Patricio de los and Khorchani, Abdelghaffar and Savari, Sharareh}, title = {Assessment of the coastal and estuarine environment quality of western Algeria using the bioindicator Polychaeta; the genus Nereis}, series = {Journal of Materials and Environmental Science}, volume = {11}, journal = {Journal of Materials and Environmental Science}, number = {9}, issn = {2028-2508}, pages = {1472 -- 1481}, abstract = {This study was carried out in the Cheliff estuary and adjacent coastal areas to determine in particular the impact of environmental stress on the biodiversity of the Western-Algerian littoral Polychaeta, with the motive to analyze the health status of the marine ecosystem as bio-indicator species of pollution.

We detected in total, four taxa comprising 392 individuals. The taxa having the highest frequency rate were Nereis virens (62\%), Nereis diversicolor (58\%), Nereis falsa (43\%), and Nereis pelagica (51\%). We noted low Polychaeta abundances in Sokhra and Hadjaj stations, in the Eastern area of Cheliff Estuary with a high pH, OS, DO, and Chlorophyll "a". Cheliff Estuary has high nutrients, N. diversicolor, and N. virens values. The sites Salamandre and Sonactere in the Western part of the Cheliff Estuary have high BOD, COD, PO4, suspended solids, turbidity, N. pelagica, and N. falsa.

Thus, biofuel development has received tremendous support from all quarters in response to quest for energy security and clean energy. However, the rapid rate of development of bioenergy has also raised concern chiefly for its nexus with food security with some scholar considering it a disaster especially for countries in the global south. Due to her prime location along the equator, and the generally favourable climatic conditions all through the year, Nigeria is considered to have enormous potential for bioenergy development. Unfortunately, Nigeria is also highly ranked in the 2018 Global Hunger Index (GHI) of International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). Rested mainly on exploratory approach, this study analyses the bioenergy potential of Nigeria and the implications of the fast-rising market on food security in the Nigerian context. Critical investigation on the food crop-bioenergy trade-offs was conducted while bioenergy development implications were analysed in the context of the four dimensions of food security.
