Marine conservation

Open Ocean

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.
