PUBLISHED BY THE COUSTEAU SOCIETY, CUSTODIANS OF THE SEA • 4 EAST 27TH STREET • P.O. BOX 20321 • NEW YORK, NY 10001. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Equipe Cousteau would like to thank the national and Red Sea state governmental bodies of Sudan, expecially the Governor of the Red Sea State of Sudan, The Honorable Mohammed Tahir Aila and the members of its government involved in this project. They shared with us the vision that Integrated Coastal Zone Management is a necessity for the development of the magnificent coast of the Red Sea State of Sudan. This project would not have been possible without the support of the European Commission and we wish to especially thank Mr Paul Symonds (former Food Security Coordinator, Delegation of The European Commission To Sudan) who was a very responsive and supportive officer in charge of the follow-up of this project, with a clear vision of environmental issues and opportunities for Sudan. We are grateful for the support given by PERSGA (The Regional Organization for the Conservation of the Environment of the Red Sea & Gulf of Aden) and want to especially thank Mrs Khulood Tubaishat (former Advisor for Policy and Coastal Governance, PERSGA). Without her continuous involvement and commitment to the project, and the high level advisory and political support she has provided, in Sudan and internationally, much less would have been achieved. We would like to highlight the role Mr Mohamed Younis Abdeslam, former officer of the Wildlife Administration, and Dr Rebecca Klaus for their continuous commitment to the creation and sustainable management of Sudanese marine protected areas. We are grateful for the support given by Mr Mustafa El Taïeb, former Director of the Division of Science Analysis and Policies (UNESCO, Natural Sciences Sector), Mr Natarajan Ishwaran, Director of the Division of Ecological and Earth Sciences, Mr Peter Dogse, Man and the Biosphere Programme (UNESCO, Division of Ecological Sciences) and Mr Ibrahim Sidibé, former Head of Office, UNESCO Sudan. We also want to thank Mr Abubaker Mustafa Mohammed Khair, founder and chairman of the Board of Trustees of The Future University, and the former Governor of the Red Sea State His Excellency Mr Hatem El-Wassila, for their early-stage support of this work and for helping to get the support of the highest political authorities in Sudan. Tarik Chekchak Director for Sciences & Environment 5 6 Foreword by Francine Cousteau IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF JACQUES COUSTEAU… Fifty years ago Jacques Cousteau’s Calypso dropped anchor on the coral reef Sha’ab Rumi off the coast of Sudan. It was there that Cousteau designed and built the first underwater village as a place to test the inven- tions he created that would enable people to live and work under the sea. The brave pioneers on his crew spent a month under water, brilliantly demonstrating the vision of Captain Cousteau. Their experiences and subsequent contributions to science – including invaluable achievements in training astronauts to work in a weightless environment – have been the subject of numerous scientific publications. In 2003/2004 the Cousteau Society retraced the Captain's steps with Aquanaut Claude Wesly, who in 1963 at Sha’ab Rumi had lived and slept in the village immersed under the sea, and later had seen images of it in the Captain’s “The World Without Sun” feature, which won an Oscar in 1964. This was a hugely emotional moment not only for Claude and the entire team, but also for some local Sudanese who recalled childhood memories of the Calypso and its Captain. Cousteau was always looking to the future and, as I thought of him and of the permanent residents of Sha’ab Rumi, I decided to use the occasion of our return to Sudan to establish a long-term goal of providing these men and women with highly-skilled work that will help them build their future. We have had boots on the ground since 2003, with dozens of top scientists from around the world producing a highly-detailed study on the Sudanese coast. As part of this effort, we created the UNESCO Cousteau University Chair in Khartoum. Since 2010, we have been developing a system of acoustic and satellite monitoring of sting rays and sharks in the Red Sea manned by Sudanese teams. Scientific discoveries already have been made on how coral adapts to extreme conditions, and on the hybridization of the species. The two volumes presented here are available to scientists and policy makers who need to take better care of fragile ecosystems for generations to come. I express my deep gratitude to all those who have helped us achieve this work that extends the path defined by Jacques Cousteau.

However, the macroeconomic situation remains very poor and is expected to further deteriorate throughout the projection period, and this will drive continued extremely high food and non-food prices. The negative impacts of high food prices will be somewhat mitigated by the fact that livestock prices and wage labor are also increasing, though overall purchasing power will remain below average. A higher number of households than is typical will face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse outcomes through September. • Between June and September, the lean season in Sudan, Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected in parts of Red Sea, Kassala, Al Gadarif, Blue Nile, West Kordofan, North Kordofan, South Kordofan, and Greater Darfur. Of highest concern are the IDPs in SPLM-N controlled areas of South Kordofan and SPLA-AW controlled areas of Jebel Marra, who have been inaccessible for both assessments and food assistance deliveries. IDPs in these areas are expected to be in Source: FEWS NET FEWS NET classification is IPC-compatible. IPC-compatible analysis follows Emergency (IPC Phase 4) during the August-September peak key IPC protocols but does not necessarily reflect the consensus of national of the lean season. food security partners. • The June to September 2019 rainy season is forecasted to be above average. This is anticipated to lead to flooding in mid-2019 and increase the prevalence of waterborne disease.

  • Ecological Patterns and Status of the Reefs of Sudan
    Proceedings of the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 7-11 July 2008 Session number 18 Ecological patterns and status of the reefs of Sudan R. Klaus1, J. Kemp1, M. Samoilys1,2, H. Anlauf1, S. El Din3, E.O. Abdalla3, T. Chekchak1 1) Equipe Cousteau, 92 Avenue Kleber, 75116 Paris, France 2) CORDIO East Africa, P.O.BOX 24562, Karen 00502, Nairobi, Kenya 3) Red Sea University, Port Sudan, Sudan Abstract. Sudan borders the western shore of the Red Sea, a sea recognised as being of global importance for marine biodiversity. A survey carried out during October / November 2007 provided the opportunity to assess the current status of the reefs, many of which have never previously been surveyed. Within the Sudanese Red Sea there is a pronounced biogeographical transition from reef communities that are characteristic of the northern Red Sea to those more representative of the southern Red Sea. Recreational and extractive use of resources is still moderately low however the condition of the reefs and the abundance of resources is highly variable. There are low abundances of several key families of commercial fin fish (particularly groupers and larger snappers) and invertebrate groups (particularly sea cucumbers and larger gastropod molluscs). There is also a conspicuous absence of sea urchins (Diadema spp. and Echinometra spp.) from many sites. The reefs of Sudan were impacted by previous coral bleaching events, although the extent of mortality was influenced by variability in community composition and local environmental conditions. The biogeographic trends within Sudanese waters and the variability in resource abundance and reef condition all have important implications for management planning.

  • A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement In
    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

Sanganeb Marine National Park and Dungonab Bay – Mukkawar Island Marine National Park عقوملا تامولعم Country: Sudan Inscribed in: 2016 Criteria: (vii) (ix) (x) The property consists of two separate areas: Sanganeb is an isolated, coral reef structure in the central Red Sea and the only atoll, 25 km off the shoreline of Sudan. The second component of the property is made up of Dungonab Bay and Mukkawar Island, situated 125 km north of Port Sudan. It includes a highly diverse system of coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, beaches and islets. The site provides a habitat for populations of seabirds, marine mammals, fish, sharks, turtles and manta rays. Dungonab Bay also has a globally significant population of dugongs. © UNESCO صخلملا 2017 Conservation Outlook Good with some concerns The property contains impressive natural phenomena, formations and areas of great natural beauty and is a relatively undisturbed area that serves as a standard to assess the health of the central Red Sea’s regional ecosystems. Its marine habitats are well preserved and remain largely untouched and unspoiled, largely due to isolation and low visitation. However, some degradation of the site’s biodiversity values through exploitation by the local community is a potential threat as are increasing impacts from climate change, given it is one of the northernmost tropical coral reef systems on earth.
