“…The degradation of ecosystems reduces their capacity to provide enough goods and services that humans depend on (Useh et al, 2017;Raimi et al, 2022). Although ecosystems are sometimes resilient due to their ability to heal from past disturbances and return to equilibrium, persistent degradation may result in a permanent shift in the equilibrium (Olatunji et al, 2018;Falk et al, 2022). For instance, persistent logging and destruction of forest cover may eventually result in desertification (Useh et al, 2017;Kaspa, 2022).…”

Guyana is an oil-producing country with oil and gas exploration and production operations approximately 190 km offshore. The coastal communities selected as the study areas in Region 1 and Region 2 are adjacent to the coast and 5 to 10 km inshore. In the event of oil spills, Shell Beach Protected Areas and the other selected communities will be negatively impacted, particularly the mangrove ecosystems and the community's well-being. The research aims to investigate the potential environmental risks posed by oil and gas exploration and production activities. It followed a qualitative approach and employed semi-structured interviews with the Toshaos of the coastal communities. The data analysis strategy was thematic analysis using the Nvivo software. The major themes included community assets, the importance of mangrove ecosystems, and the impacts of mangrove ecosystem damage through oil spills. Oil spill pollution will negatively impact mangrove ecosystems and the coastal community well-being in Region 1 and Region 2. The major results include damage to cultural artefacts, saltwater intrusion of major creeks, reduced fish catch levels, and agriculture products, which are the main economic activities in the selected communities. Consuming contaminated agriculture and marine products will lead to adverse health problems. Mangrove ecosystems provide considerable benefits to coastal community residents, including shields against river bank erosion, natural habitats for wildlife and How to cite this paper: Henry, C.

“…Some parts of the state still receive up to 150 mm (6 in) of rainfall during the dry period. Relative humidity rarely dips below 60% and fluctuates between 90% and 100% for most of the year (Olatunji et al, 2019) (Figure 1).…”

The process of modeling contaminant volume, rainfall intensity, and soil depth was investigated on diesel leaching and retention in soil subjected to oil pollution from five Base Transceiver Stations. The experimental runs were carried out over three operating parameters which include contaminant volume (50-350 ml), rainfall intensity (5-10 mm/h), and soil depth (30-90 cm) using Response Surface Methodology. Among all variables, soil depth and rainfall intensity significantly influenced the diesel leaching rates. According to results that were found out via ANOVA, the model was fitted to the experimental data with high coefficients. Furthermore, using the statistical modeling approach, the rates predicted via RSM were estimated by varying the contaminant volume at 10 ml, rainfall intensity is 7.5 mm/h; soil depth yielded 54.3 cm while the amount of diesel leached and retained gave 5958.8 mg/L and 3682.5% respectively at the desirability of 1.00. However, at a soil depth of 30 cm, contaminant volume was found to be 50 ml, rainfall intensity is at 10 mm/h to obtain maximum diesel leaching rates, and the amount retained in the soil. The model was validated by computing the %error, which ranges between 0.04 and 8%. This indicates that the model can be implemented.
