The “RED SEA PROJECT”
The Red Sea project is located in Cairo. Our partners in Eqypt work tirelessly to promote a better understanding of the marine ecosystems through our programs, engaging with local communities, students, special education groups, and our social media platforms.
Their goals are to dispel myths about the marine environment, cultivate a sense of stewardship for the Red Sea as well as all oceans and grow conservation-conscious communities around the world.
They work with ecologists, professional divers, marine biologists, educators, educational institutions, and local or international NGO’s to establish and implement educational programs.
