dc.description.abstractABSTRACT Maritime environmental pollution has caused serious damages to human health and its environment.Many factors are responsible for environmental pollution in the maritime sector to wit: air pollution, discharges at sea, ship recycling, noise, collisions with whales, oil pollution and solid waste. This paper examines the reality of maritime environmental pollutionas it affects human health and its environment by way ofenvironmental impacts from ocean shipping, impacts of oil spill incidents on Nigerian maritime environment,human health, marine living resources and maritime security. The paper argues that in order to reduce the tragic flaws of maritime environmental pollutionin Nigeria, there is need for designation of Special Area as practiced in other jurisdiction to reduce pollution in water among others to avert threats of avoidable maritime pollution. The paper therefore concludes that there should provision of standardised onshore power supply in ports, harbours and ships burn fuel to generate electricity for lighting, machinery and other onboard at berth to monitor erring ships.en_US
