Box 2223 Cairo EGYPT S U M M A R Y ============= Fisheries development mainly lies in the possib.ilities of identifying new investment opportunities in the fisheries sector. Thus, the development of fisheries along the Egyptian Red Sea Coast could only be achieved and maintained through integrated development/investment oriented projects. Preparing pre-feasibility and feasibility studies on such investments opportunities is one of the main objectives for the Project for Development of Fisheries in Areas of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, (RAB/81/002). This report is one of these studies. The report includes four main sections : 1. Technical background : shark fishing trials, processing all parts of sharks caught and trials for tanning shark hides. 2. Fishing Enterprise : cost structure and expected annual revenues. This activity of the proposed project is financially evaluated separately giving a financial rate of return of 32.75% 3. Shark and Fish Processing Enterprise : This activity is studied and financially evaluated separately giving a financial internal rate of return of 27.31% 4. Financial and Economic Evaluation : This has been carried out for the proposed project as a whole. The financial internal rate of return and the economic in.ternal rate of return has been estimated at 27. 52% and 29.93% respectively. Both, the financial rate of return and the economic rate of return surpass the current interest rate in Egypt of 15%. The following facts also emerge from the study : - Total investment requirements are estimated to be L. E. 71 0 0 0 0. Annual expected catch is 500 tons of which sharks would contribute 50% and the rest coral fish species. - Annual fish sales (processed or fresh chilled) is estimated at L.E. 945 OOO under full capacity production (starting year three)· - It is expected that 86 new job opportunities will be created with annual gross income of L.E. 210 OOO when the project becomes operational. -i- Table of Contents Page 1.

INTRODUCTION One of the objectives of the UNDP/FAO Project for Development of Fisheries in Areas of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (RAB/81/002) is to identify and prepare economic and investment-oriented studies. This is achieved through the formulation of proposals, pre­ feasibility and feasibility studies aimed at the development and modernization of fisheries in the participating countries. The Arab Republic of Egypt is one of the participating countries of the Project. During a meeting with the Project Manager (RAB/81/002) in January 1982, the Governor of the Red Sea requested a feasi­ bility study for a complete shark utilization unit and a fish smoking unit. This study deals with the shark utilization unit, while that dealing with fish smoking was prepared and delivered under Report No.RAB/81/002/l in September 1982. 2. BACKGROUND 2.1 The fisheries sector 2.1.1 In 1978 total fish production from Egyptian waters was estimated at 119000 tons of which about 20,000 tons (17%) were landed from the Gulf of Suez and the Red Sea; 43000 tons ( or 36%) from the Mediterranean Sea; 30000 tons (or 25%) from the Nile delta lakes and from the River Nile; 23000 tons (or 19%) from Lake Nasser and 3000 tons (or 3%) from fish farming. Fish imports were estimated at 89000 tuns in 1980. 2.1.2. The Egyptian Red Sea Coast is about 1630 km in length, which includes 1080 km from Suez to the Sudanese border, 325 km on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Suez and 225 km on the western coast of the Gulf of Aqaba. Both the eastern and western coasts of the Sinai fall within the South Sinai Governorate. The coast between Suez City and Ras Ghareb (230 km) is in the Suez Governorate while the remaining part (850 km) is in the Red Sea Governorate. 2.1.3. The rnaln .flshing centre is Suez wlie1·e there are 3000 fishermen with 84 purse-seiners, 68 trawlers and 60 small sail and motori~ed boats. They operate in the Gulf of Suez with the exception of about 20 trawlers and purse-seiners based in Suez and operating outside the Gulf of Suez, mainly in the Southern part (Foul Bay 1000 km south). About 80% of the total catches from purse-seiners and trawlers in the Red Sea (16000 tons) are -2- landed in Suez. 2000 tons (or 10%) are caught in Foul Bay and landed in Hurghada or in Suez. The remaining 10% are landed by the small scale fisheries sector. In Suez there is a port allocated on a temporary basis by the Suez Canal Authority to the commercial fisheries (trawlers and purse-seiners). 10% of the catches are sold in Suez while the remaining part is sold to traders who transport the fish by trucks to Cairo, (140km). On their way back , the trucks transport ice. 2.1.4 Hurghada is the capital of the Red Sea Governorate and considered the second fishing centre along the Red Sea Coast. There are about 300-350 small-scale fishermen grouped into a service cooperative. They use 80 launches (8-llm in length fitted with inboard engines and having a crew of 3 fishermen each and 30 small motorized boats (fitted with outboard engines). The catches are around 340 tons per year. Hurghada has a commercial port located in a well protected bay which is used by the 3 purse-seiners/trawlers from the Development Project for Fisheries (directly managed by the Governorate) and by the 20 purse-seiners/trawlers from Suez land­ ing their catches (about 2000 tons per year).

  • This Keyword List Contains Indian Ocean Place Names of Coral Reefs, Islands, Bays and Other Geographic Features in a Hierarchical Structure
    CoRIS Place Keyword Thesaurus by Ocean - 8/9/2016 Indian Ocean This keyword list contains Indian Ocean place names of coral reefs, islands, bays and other geographic features in a hierarchical structure. For example, the first name on the list - Bird Islet - is part of the Addu Atoll, which is in the Indian Ocean. The leading label - OCEAN BASIN - indicates this list is organized according to ocean, sea, and geographic names rather than country place names. The list is sorted alphabetically. The same names are available from “Place Keywords by Country/Territory - Indian Ocean” but sorted by country and territory name. Each place name is followed by a unique identifier enclosed in parentheses. The identifier is made up of the latitude and longitude in whole degrees of the place location, followed by a four digit number. The number is used to uniquely identify multiple places that are located at the same latitude and longitude. For example, the first place name “Bird Islet” has a unique identifier of “00S073E0013”. From that we see that Bird Islet is located at 00 degrees south (S) and 073 degrees east (E). It is place number 0013 at that latitude and longitude. (Note: some long lines wrapped, placing the unique identifier on the following line.) This is a reformatted version of a list that was obtained from ReefBase.

  • Southern Egyptian Red Sea Bays, Offshore Reefs and Islands IMMA
    Southern Egyptian Red Sea Bays, Offshore Reefs and Islands IMMA Summary The Egyptian Red Sea waters south of Marsa Alam encompass diverse marine habitats, including coastal bays, offshore reefs, and islands, supporting populations of nine marine mammal species. The northern parts of the area feature habitats used by Area Size resident dugong (Dugong dugon) and spinner 19,425 km2 dolphins (Stenella longirostris).¬† These populations have become the target of popular, intense, and in Qualifying Species and Criteria many cases, unregulated “swim-with” tourism operations that take place in their resting and calving areas. Conversely, the southern portion of the area is Dugong – Dugong dugon remote and less affected by coastal development Criteria A, B1 and tourism. Scientific research on marine mammals in this area commenced in the early 2000s and has Indian Ocean humpback dolphin – Sousa plumbea contributed significantly to the understanding of Criterion A spinner dolphin and dugong behaviour, as well as species occurrence, distribution and ecology in the Risso’s dolphin – Grampus griseus region. Criterion B1 Description Spinner dolphin – Stenella longirostris Criteria B1, C1 The IMMA is located in Egypt’s Red Sea Governorate, an administrative division of Egypt including most of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin – Tursiops aduncus the Red Sea coastal area, from the Suez Canal to the Criterion B1 border with Sudan. It encompasses the entire Marsa Alam administrative region, which ranges from Port Ghalib in the north (25.6°N, 34.1°E) to Shalatin in the Common bottlenose dolphin – Tursiops truncatus south (23.5°N; 33.5°E), and includes a range of diverse Criterion B2 marine and terrestrial habitats.

  • Late Oligocene–Early Miocene Nukhul Sequence, Gulf of Suez and Red Sea
    GeoArabia, 2012, v. 17, no. 1, p. 17-44 Gulf PetroLink, Bahrain Late Oligocene–Early Miocene Nukhul Sequence, Gulf of Suez and Red Sea Moujahed I. Al-Husseini ABSTRACT Egypt’s Late Oligocene–Early Miocene Nukhul Formation was deposited during the earliest geological evolution of the Gulf of Suez and Red Sea Rift System. In this paper the formation is cast as a depositional sequence based on published sections, and correlated across the Gulf of Suez and northern Red Sea. The resulting correlations indicate that deposition was initiated in local grabens by the oldest continental clastics of the lower member of the Nukhul Formation, the Shoab Ali Member. The member overlies the Suez Rift Unconformity, a term proposed for the entire Red Sea. Although this member can attain a thickness of ca. 1,000 ft (305 m) locally in grabens, it is generally absent over horsts. Sedimentary facies of the member are interpreted as indicating an initial alluvial-fluvial setting that evolved to an estuarine and coastal setting. The upper part of the Nukhul Formation records a regional shallow-marine transgression, which can be subdivided into three correlative Upper Nukhul members. These sediments are absent over the highest paleo-horsts, but reach up to 900 ft (275 m) in thickness in grabens. In the southern Gulf of Suez the Ghara Member represents the Upper Nukhul members. In places it consists of four cycles, each of which starts with an anhydrite bed and is overlain by deposits of mixed lithology (sandstone, marl, and limestone). The four cycles are interpreted as transgressive-regressive subsequences that can be correlated across ca.

  • How Eco Is Eco-Tourism? a Systematic Assessment of Resorts on the Red Sea, Egypt
    sustainability Article How Eco is Eco-Tourism? A Systematic Assessment of Resorts on the Red Sea, Egypt Amir Gohar * and G. Mathias Kondolf Department of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning, University of California at Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(510)-8595988 Received: 19 October 2020; Accepted: 30 November 2020; Published: 4 December 2020 Abstract: Eco-tourism is a growing part of the tourism industry. However, there are no agreed-upon criteria of what constitutes eco-tourism, so the industry is currently self-identified, with eco-lodges simply declaring themselves so. Here we present the first systematic comparison of eco-tourism versus conventional (or mass) tourism, using as our study area a set of 37 resorts along the southern Red Sea coast of Egypt, all constructed on similarly oriented parcels between the sea and the Red Sea Mountain Range. We compared resorts based on their water, energy, and waste management (all virtually equivalent), and based on mappable environmental parameters such as swimming pool surface area, distance from mangrove patches, conflict with flood plains, extent of lawn area, and means of access to deep water. We found that the self-identified eco-tourism establishments were not significantly different from the conventional tourism resorts in terms of their stress on environmental resources. We recommend that future eco-tourism operations be modified in two key ways. First, on the planning level, by modifying the regional master plan created by the central government tourism authorities. Second, on the site design level, by introducing significant improvements to the design approval processes for the developments to ensure compliance with environmental requirements.

  • Oksana Romaniv, Dina Yarmolyk the RED SEA AS TOURIST
    Oksana Romaniv, Dina Yarmolyk THE RED SEA AS TOURIST DESTINATION Oksana Romaniv1 Dina Yarmolyk2 DOI: https://doi.org/10.30525/978-9934-26-077-3-5 Abstract. Attracted by the rich marine life and favorable climate, tourism has become important for many Red Sea countries, with over 1 million tourists per year expected in the future. Extensive areas of the coastline have been developed to accommodate the increasing flux of tourists, especially in Aqaba of Jordan, the Jeddah coastline of Saudi Arabia and various areas along the Egyptian coastline. Many researchers have described the development of tourism on the Red Sea coast. But there are few publications about the possibilities of tourism development on the basis of water resources of the Red Sea. It is therefore very important to explore the possibilities of development of water tourism in the Red Sea. Through recent decades, significant advances in technology and the increase in international travel have made marine environments more accessible both in real and economic terms. Coastal and marine tourism has become a huge business that forms a significant component of the growing global tourism industry. The number of tourists attractions is not only determined by the capacity of the attractions themselves, but also by four other components: natural resources and environment; socially-economic environment; transportation; cultural resources. It discusses the concept of sustainable tourism development in the area, which leads to management of all resources in such a way that economic, social and natural needs can be fulfilled while maintaining culture integrity, essential ecological processes, biological diversity and life support systems.

También se encontraron en áreas vecinas, desde Berenice a Marsa Alam. Las minas están agotadas y esta área es actualmente una atracción turística, de buceo, debido a sus restos antiguos y a la gran cantidad de corales que se encuentran cerca de la costa. PALABRAS CLAVE: Topacio, esmeralda, Zabargad, Berenice, Marsa Alam, Ras Banas, fosterita, fayalita, comercio. ABSTRACT Gemstone samples of olivine discovered in Zabargad Island off the coast of Egypt on the Red Sea was mined since ancient times. It was found also in the neighbourhood area from Berenice to Marsa Alam. The mines are exhausted and the area is now a tourist attraction because ancient remains, of sea diving, and the plenty of corals near the coast. KEY WORDS: Topaz, emerald, Zabargad, Berenice, Marsa Alam, Ras Banas, fosterite, fayalite, trade.. Recibido: 7 de noviembre, 2015 ● Aceptado: 10 de diciembre, 2015 INTRODUCTION Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), mentioned the island "Topazios" in his work Naturalis Historia where gemstones were found whose color resembled that of olive oil. In 1790, the German mineralogist Abra- ham Gottlob Werner (1749–1817) (Fig. 1) named the mineral olivine (Fig. 2) be- cause of its typical olive-green color. This happened when in the early 18th century the name topaz was given to the fluo- rine-bearing aluminum silicate and a new name was needed for the green gem- stone from volcanic Zabargad Island in Egypt (Figs 3 and 4) where the gemstone Figure 1.
