Reducing Marine and Coastal Pollution

The West African coastline is home to major industries, mining activities, peri-urban and agro-industry, and tourism, as well as urban and seaside residences, all of which generate waste and cause pollution. Many areas along the coast also lack ade...

Many areas along the coast also lack adequate wastewater and solid waste management systems. As a result, large volumes of untreated wastewater and solid waste are dumped into the open, polluting the land and water.

Such studies generally focus on pollution from sewage/wastewater, nutrients, and marine litter; they may also include other pollutants, such as oil (spills from ships and offshore oil exploration and production), chemicals, and heavy metals. Reducing the generation of plastic debris requires collect¬ing data on the origin, volumes, and types of plastic litter, so that appropriate measures can be taken to reduce the use of, reuse, or recycle plastic products. 2016-05-17T20:35:01Z 2016-05-17T20:35:01Z 2016-03 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2015/11/25486931/reducing-marine-coastal-pollution http://hdl.handle.net/10986/24284 English en_US West Africa Coastal Areas Management Program Knowledge Sheet;5 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief Africa West Africa
