The book explores the complex interplay between oil production and the livelihoods of coastal communities in Liberia, where a significant portion of the population relies on marine resources. It highlights the potential conflicts arising from oil exploration, such as threats to biodiversity and local economies, particularly fishing. The authors emphasize the urgent need for effective oil spill contingency and waste management plans, alongside training for local residents to mitigate the impacts of pollution, ultimately aiming to support biodiversity conservation efforts in the region.
