Marine Debris is human-created waste dumped into the sea or ocean. It pollutes aquatic environment and hence very dangerous for ocean species. Removal of marine debris from necessary to eliminate pollution secure life. A robust automatic system essential that detects unnecessary litter plastic other garbage at real-time. In this study, we have proposed deep learning based architecture detection...

Captain Charles Moore introduced the world to the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" in the mid-1990s, and images of plastic debris in the oceans began to sweep the media. Since then, there has been increasing interest from scientists, the public, and policy makers regarding plastic debris in the environment. Today, there remains no doubt that plastic debris contaminates aquatic (marine and freshwat...

The accumulation of plastic debris in pelagic habitats of the subtropical gyres is a global phenomenon of growing concern, particularly with regard to wildlife. When animals ingest plastic debris that is associated with chemical contaminants, they are at risk of bioaccumulating hazardous pollutants. We examined the relationship between the bioaccumulation of hazardous chemicals in myctophid fis...

We discuss in this paper environmental changes along the coastal line of Nigeria, especially in the region around Lagos, basing on provisional multi-disciplinary analyses of meteorological and maritime observations. The study has revealed that the environmental change in the Nigerian coastal region has been much more apparent than before (i.e. some few years back 1989-2007). Various kinds of oc...
