Climate change and the challenges of fisheries resources management in Nigeria

This paper takes a practical look at the challenges faced by fisheries resources in Nigeria due to climate change. It shows that Chad which produce 60% of smoked fish in Nigeria worth N2.6 billion is at the brink of extinction and is expected to dry to a mere 2000 sq km by year 2010 from over 25,000sq km in the 1960s. In simple clear terms, the paper gives practical adaptation and policy to face the challenges of climate change.
