The Red Sea and Arabian Gulf are unique marine environments, boasting exceptional biodiversity, vibrant coral reefs, and crucial ecological and economic significance for the surrounding regions. However, these vital ecosystems face mounting pressures from human activities, including pollution, overfishing, coastal development, and climate change. Effective governance and international cooperation are essential to ensuring the sustainable management and conservation of these valuable marine resources.

 

This interdisciplinary training programme focuses on regional ocean governance in the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf. The four-week residential program, offered by the IOI in Egypt at the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries in November 2024, will explore the complexities and opportunities within this critical region.
