Notice board


 

Egypt

 Egypt’s Chamber of Diving and Watersports (CDWS) is appealing for visitors to help stamp out illegal fishing in the Red Sea by recording evidence of illegal activity on camera. If you see fishing in restricted areas or evidence, such as nets and lines in no-take zones, the CDWS wants to hear from you.

The Red Sea is one of the few places on the planet where shark fishing has been made illegal, with other species receiving protection in a significant number of productive coral reef marine zones. National Park areas such as Ras Mohammed in the north and dugong rich areas in the south such as Abu Dabab, are two of many areas where fishing of any kind is banned.

If you see any suspicious fishing activity in known no-take zones

email your pictures, with date, time, name of boat, location and any other useful info to fishing@cdws.travel

Yemen - Gulf of Aden

The UN Security Council decided, that foreign states may arrest pirates in Somalia's waters. The document gives nations a mandate to use "all necessary means" to fight piracy.

European Union formed EUNAVFOR “ATALANTA” for this purpose. It will use the military forces at disposal, cooperating with other states operating in the region to provide protection to all merchant vessels in the Gulf of Aden. Latest news on http://www.eunavfor.eu.
