About Lagos Lagoon
Lagos lagoon is the largest of four lagoon systems off the Gulf of Guinea. Several rivers and waterways empty into it, and it plays an important role in the West African coastal ecosystem as well as the Nigerian economy. The lagoon is a major fishery, providing food and income for surrounding communities and beyond. Unfortunately, the lagoon receives enormous amounts of largely untreated industrial and other wastes. The Lagos Lagoon needs our help.
