The study examined the impact of sea robbery on artisanal fishing in Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The study is survey based; A Sample of 400 was derived using Taro Yamane sample size determination technique. Questionnaires and oral interview were the instruments used for data collection. The data collected were analyzed using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMC). The results revealed that there is a significant relationship between sea robbery and artisanal fishing which implies that the continuing existence of the activities of sea robbers in our territorial waters will result to poor fish harvest because fishermen are scared of fishing in deep waters where there is fish abundance. Consequent upon this, it is recommended, among others, community policing especially hotspots communities along the waterways and creeks of the Niger Delta region.
