Abstract:This paper examines the theoretical and practical need, goals and meaning of integrated ocean policy, as well as the nature and character of such policy as an option for Nigeria. It highlights some of Nigeria's ocean interests vis-à-vis its existing policy strategies. These interests are to be found in the areas of resource exploration and exploitation; transport and communication; military and strategic interests; marine scientific research and technology transfer; waste disposal, marine environment and preservation; coastal zone management; and recreation and tourism. Furthermore, the paper presents a possible model for the institutional structure and legislative measures that can strengthen integrated ocean policymaking in Nigeria. It concludes that, as a policy option for Nigeria, an integrated ocean policy does not actually replace a sectoral approach, but supplements it. Notes, ref., sum. [ASC Leiden abstract]
