  • Assessment Impact of the Damietta Harbour (Egypt) and Its Deep Navigation Channel on Adjacent Shorelines
    Journal of Integrated Coastal Zone Management (2020) 20(4): 265-281 © 2020 APRH ISSN 1646-8872 DOI 10.5894/rgci-n338 url: https://www.aprh.pt/rgci/rgci-n338.html ASSESSMENT IMPACT OF THE DAMIETTA HARBOUR (EGYPT) AND ITS DEEP NAVIGATION CHANNEL ON ADJACENT SHORELINES Mohsen M. Ezzeldin1, Osami S. Rageh2, Mahmoud E. Saad3 @ ABSTRACT: Deep navigation channels have a great impact on adjacent beaches and crucial economic effects because of periodic dredging operations. The navigation channel of the Damietta harbour is considered a clear example of the sedimentation problem and deeply affects the Northeastern shoreline of the Nile Delta in Egypt. The aim of the present study is to monitor shoreline using remote sensing techniques to evaluate the effect of Damietta harbour and its navigation channel on the shoreline for the last 45 years. Also, the selected period was divided into two periods to illustrate the effect of man-made interventions on the shoreline. Shorelines were extracted from satellite images and then the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) was used to estimate accurate rates of shoreline changes and predict future shorelines evolution of 2030, 2040, 2050 and 2060. The Damietta harbour created an accretion area in the western side with an average rate of 2.13 m year-1. On the contrary, the shoreline in the eastern side of the harbour retreated by 92 m on average over the last 45 years. So, it is considered one of the main hazard areas along the Northeastern shoreline of the Nile Delta that needs a sustainable solution. Moreover, a detached breakwaters system is predicted to provide shore stabilization at the eastern side as the implemented one at Ras El-Bar beach.

  • Towards Creating New Sustainable Cities in Egypt- Critical Perspective for Planning New Cities
    Towards Creating New Sustainable Cities in Egypt- Critical Perspective for Planning New Cities Speaker: Ellahham, Nisreen 1 Abstract: The objective of this paper is to form a future vision of Egyptian sustainable cities that integrates theories with international experiences. The paper highlights the pressing need to establish new areas for development in the Egyptian desert—through geo-economic restructuring of Egypt—that would contribute to reduction of population density in existing cities through attracting it from the narrow congested valley to new urban communities. This helps destabilize the existing urban density, which has become already experiencing severe environmental degradation. The paper identifies the most important theories of sustainable cities and sets their establishment standards and planning criteria. It analyzes the pros and cons of the Egyptian experience in building new cities in the desert and the major pertinent impediments. The ultimate objective is to sketch strategic orientation, based on results reached and lessons learned, for the purpose of establishing new sustainable urban communities in the Egyptian desert . Egypt - desert - sustainable – cities Concept of sustainable cities The concept of "sustainable cities" emerged concurrently with the adoption of sustainable development concept and the increasing concern about impacts of development on the physical, social and cultural environment. Related to the main philosophy of Sustainable development, the sustainable cities concept called for identifying a new type of cities that would achieve economic growth through an economic base that does not drain or pollute natural resources, adopt products recycling or restoring the invested energy. Also, sustainable cities achieve social equity for their residences in a manner that strengths the concepts of democracy, participatory decision making, and self reliance.

  • Anthropogenic Enhancement of Egypt's Mediterranean Fishery
    Anthropogenic enhancement of Egypt’s Mediterranean fishery Autumn J. Oczkowskia,1, Scott W. Nixona, Stephen L. Grangera, Abdel-Fattah M. El-Sayedb, and Richard A. McKinneyc aGraduate School of Oceanography, University of Rhode Island, Narragansett, RI 02882; bOceanography Department, Faculty of Science, Alexandria University, Alexandria, Egypt; and cUnited States Environmental Protection Agency, Atlantic Ecology Division, Narragansett, RI 02882 Communicated by Peter Vitousek, Stanford University, Stanford, CA, December 10, 2008 (received for review September 8, 2008) The highly productive coastal Mediterranean fishery off the Nile River delta collapsed after the completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1965. But the fishery has been recovering dramatically since the mid-1980s, coincident with large increases in fertilizer application and sewage discharge in Egypt. We use stable isotopes of nitrogen (␦15N) to demonstrate that 60%–100% of the current fishery production may be from primary production stimulated by nutri- ents from fertilizer and sewage runoff. Although the establish- ment of the dam put Egypt in an ideal position to observe the impact of rapid increases in nutrient loading on coastal productiv- ity in an extremely oligotrophic sea, the Egyptian situation is not unique. Such anthropogenically enhanced fisheries also may occur along the northern rim of the Mediterranean and offshore of some rapidly developing tropical countries, where nutrient concentra- tions in the coastal waters were previously very low. fisheries ͉ Nile delta ͉ nutrient enrichment ͉ stable isotope n contrast to many of the world’s fisheries, which are in serious Idecline (1, 2), Egypt’s Mediterranean fishery offshore of the Nile River delta has been expanding dramatically in recent decades and at rates higher than can be explained by fishing Fig.

  • In Duplication to Function of Ports and Result in Excess-Investment for Ports. Moreover, Egyptian Ports Will Be Less Competitive in Attracting Foreign Operators
    THE STUDY ON MULTIMODAL TRANSPORT AND LOGISTICS SYSTEM OF THE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION AND MASTER PLAN FINAL REPORT 5.3 Conclusions and Recommendations 5.3.1 Port Management and Operation in Egypt (1) Enforcement of Control Power of Maritime Transport Sector Each Port Authority is proceeding with their own development projects based on their own plans, which are not harmonized with each other. The Maritime Transport Sector should play a role in coordinating and controlling all development projects in Egyptian ports. However, the sector is not performing this role at present. The situation results in duplication to function of ports and result in excess-investment for ports. Moreover, Egyptian Ports will be less competitive in attracting foreign operators. Thus, The JICA Study Team recommends enforcing the authority of the Maritime Transport Sector to coordinate and control the whole port sector development. In addition, a Master Plan Study for all Egyptian container ports, including Alexandria Port, Dekheila Port, Damietta Port, Port Said Port (West), Port Said Port (East) and Sokhna Port, is needed immediately, because container terminal development projects are in progress without sufficient central coordination. (2) Combination of Port Authority and Container Handling Company The JICA Study Team recommends combining the Port Authorities under the Ministry of Transport and the Government Container Handling Companies under the Ministry of Investment to be one organization for each port. In that case, prompt action would be possible as happens at Sokhna Port, because the decision maker is one organization. Moreover, there is a possibility that this combination would produce a simple tariff, because one organization would collect port charges and container handling charges from shipping agents.
