Description:

Marine ecological protection ensures the conservation of ecosystems critical to maintaining biodiversity, regulating climate, and supporting fisheries. These ecosystems include coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass meadows, and marine wetlands.

CAMC’s Role:

• Conducts continuous biodiversity monitoring and habitat assessment.
• Supports restoration projects for degraded coral reefs and mangrove belts.
• Promotes pollution control initiatives—reducing plastic waste and runoff from agriculture and industry.
• Collaborates with international partners for climate adaptation programs in marine zones.

Goals:

Providing technical consultation for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs).

Establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) across vulnerable ecosystems in Egypt.

Development of eco-based solutions for shoreline protection.

Raising public awareness through community programs and citizen science.
