The Shark and Rays Programme
About the Project
The Shark and Rays Programme aims to increase global recognition of Sudan as a marine biodiversity hotspot and to raise awareness on the threatened status of sharks and rays, and their potential economic importance for the local community.
This multi-faceted programme has been developed by Cousteau Society in partnership with international and local organizations, the Sudanese Wildlife Conservation General Administration, Red Sea University, SUDIA – Sudanese Development Initiative, University of Windsor, The Deep Aquarium in Hull, dive operators and other local stakeholders.
Key Strategic Goals :
- Promotion and development of sustainable alternative livelihood programmes;
- Build national capacity to effectively monitor and manage biodiversity of wide-ranging flagship species such as sharks and rays within the existing MPAs and Sudan’s Red Sea.
- Build scientific knowledge and improve the conservation status of sharks and rays species.
The Shark and Rays Programme is, technically and financially, supported by Cousteau, The Deep Aquarium , SUDIA and the Red Sea University with funding from the Darwin Initiative UKAid.
