It can be concluded that rapid population growth and
industrialization have brought about resource degradation
and a decline in environmental quality. Untreated
waste water discharged directly and indirectly to the
waterways are the most serious problems of the country.
Eutrophication of coastal waters is an emerging problem.
By contrast, few problems have been documented
from trace metals discharged by industries, and public
health threat from seafood contamination does not appear
to be significant
