ERA/FoEN field monitors following an outcry by
the people of Ikebiri via the State owned radio in Bayelsa State on how the
Chevron North Apoi explosion has also affected them, visited Ikebiri 1 and 2
which is administratively situated in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of
Bayelsa State and shares boundary with Koluama Kingdom. The Ikebiri Creek is a
major tributary of the River Nun which branches off from the Ossiama Creek and
empties into the Atlantic Ocean at Koluama axis. The Ikebiri environment which
is mainly fresh water and tropical rain forest also has brackish water as a
result of the close proximity [fish camps] to the Atlantic Ocean and, hence the
environment also has a good stretch of mangrove forest.
