The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden form part of the major east-west shipping route passing through the Suez Canal, which carries around 7% of global seaborne trade.

Marine Biodiversity

The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden is a globally significant marine ecosystem and are renowned for their diversity of ecosystems, habitats and species, the numbers of endemic species, and their biogeographic significance.

Regional Monitoring (REMP)

Monitoring of coastal and marine environment is one of the key tools in scientifically based marine and coastal resources management.

Facilitated by PERSGA, the member states are joining their cooperative efforts for sustainable management of the coastal and marine environment to achieve their relevant Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Sustainable Blue Economy

On Ground Projects

These projects are of limited size but generate quick results. They are important in terms of providing direct impacts on the lives of local communities in coastal areas.
