Abstract: Thirty cores to maximum depth of 3.7 m were taken in 2018 to investigate sedimentary characteristics and hydrocarbon penetration within mangrove sediments in Bodo (southeastern Niger Delta), an area contaminated by numerous ongoing oil spills but most significantly in 2008. Sediments were dominated by organically rich (Chikoko) mud underlain by clay with sandier sediments at deeper core depths and adjacent to shorelines. Analysis of 202 samples showed high median hydrocarbon concentrations at the surface (39,000 mg/kg) and shallow subsurface (10-25 cm, 25,000 mg/kg), decreasing with depth: 430 mg/kg at 40-70 cm; 157 mg/kg at 75-120 cm, and
