The Bight of Bonny is a large bay located on the southeastern coast of Nigeria. It is part of the Gulf of Guinea and is known for its rich marine biodiversity and significant shipping routes. The bay is bordered by several important cities, including Port Harcourt, which serves as a major port for oil and gas exports.
This area has historical significance, as it was a center for the slave trade in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, the Bight of Bonny is vital for the economy of Nigeria, supporting fishing, shipping, and oil industries, while also attracting tourism due to its natural beauty.
