    Author(s): Bamanga Awwal*, Bassey Bassey, Al-Anzi Bader and Akoso Tamarabrakemi

    Sediments are important in the geochemical cycles of marine and estuarine ecosystems with the ability to influence ecological processes and inhabiting biota. This study assessed sediment particle sizes of the Lagos Harbour and Lagoon system with a view to determine their diversity and influence on heavy metal levels. Samples were collected using Van veen grabs, viz; Dry Season 2013 (DS-1), Wet Season 2013 (WS) and Dry Season 2014 (DS-2) for a period of 18 months in the Lagos Lagoon system. The sediments collected were analysed according to the British Standard (BS 1377-2, 1990) at the instrument Physical Geography Laboratory, University of Portsmouth. The mean clay, silt, coarse and sand were found to be 6.67 ± 4.51, 6.0 ± 3.0, 9.17 ± 3.25 and 0.37 ± 3.06 respectively. The particle size in relation with total me.. Read More»
