21. Current (on-going) Research Works:
(a) Basin Development Programme in 3 States of South west, Nigeria. (b) Poverty, short term earning and Fisheries management practices: A case study of the
coastal zone of Ondo and Ogun states of Nigeria. (Project funded by Research &
Development Center/ National University Commission (NUC), University of
Agriculture, Abeokuta, RG No 169). (c) Biodiversity studies of the Fish resources of Ondo and Ogun states coastal areas.
(Currently carried out by two of my postgraduate students, funds to be sought out
soon)
(F) General Research Interests
(a) Utilization of alternative sources of feedstuffs and agro-by products for fish feed with full
emphasis on non-conventional, cheap and affordable ingredients.
(b) Coastal & Marine Studies - Community and local participatory programme.
The exploitation, utilisation and management of these resources can not be separated from the
local coastal communities, hence my focus targets both the resources and the people that
depends on these resources for their existence.
(i)Local aquacultural practices in the coastal communities especially in areas of culture and
management of bivalves, molluscs and migratory fish spp.
(ii) Coastal Community-based Environmental Planning and Legislation.
(iii) Water Resources Management in Coastal Catchment areas.
(iv) Marine Biology & Ecology, Environment and Ecosystem.
(c) Small scale fisheries development and Rural livelihoods empowerment
