Article Main Content

The ocean is a major natural resource that supplies food such as fish, prawns, lobster, etc. It is also a platform for conveying materials and men, and it serves as a source of recreation for humans. Generally, one can authoritatively assert that the ocean is critical to life on earth, hence, it is almost impossible to overemphasize its usefulness. Therefore, this study explored the role of language education in eradicating marine debris in Bayelsa State. The concept of language and language education, sustainability and marine debris were clarified. Factors militating against the eradication of marine debris and language education and creating awareness were discussed. It was recommended amongst others that the government should inculcate the services of language experts for effective eradication of marine debris.

Keywords: education, exploring, language, Marine debris, sustainable.
