Marine conservation
Open Ocean
A volunteer-run marine conservation non-profit based at Roots Red Sea, founded in 2010, running research, citizen science and education programmes on the reef right outside the resort.
Four pillars
Education, research, citizen science, conservation
Education
School visits and public workshops sharing marine conservation knowledge with the local community.
Research
Environmental data collection on the Red Sea's fringing reefs, sea grass meadows and endemic species.
Citizen science
Public participation projects — including marine biology courses run with the University of Glasgow — that connect volunteers with real research.
Conservation
Direct action with the local community, including reef and beach clean-ups.
