INDICATOR #3: Enhanced regional cooperation for sustainable management of the Red Sea environment. [Target: Establishment of a regional coordination element within the Programme for the Environment of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden (PERSGA) with assistance from UNEP, and active dialogue with other ongoing programs in the Red Sea region.]The project coordinated very closely with the GEF WB-UNDP-UNEP Red Sea Strategic Action Programme project being implemented by PERSGA, resulting in increased exposure of Yemeni scientists to regional environmental and fisheries initiatives. The project and PERSGA successfully collaborated in a regional workshop on environmental surveying and monitoring attended by 21 specialists from six PERSGA member states. PERSGA assisted in arranging a Saudi dive instructor who successfully trained six Yemenis in SCUBA diving. |
