Marine Conservation Volunteer Work in the Red Sea

Marine Conservation Volunteer Work in the Red Sea

Although this is billed as a "volunteer" project, there is a "contribution" required to join the expeditions. BUT, if you are a diver, this could be a very interesting and fulfilling way to spend your holiday.

"Unlike the coastline of Australia where a body of water exists between land and fringing reef, Dahab sits on a premium reef habitat literally 5-50metres off shore. It is a remarkable place, the terminus of all routes leading east out of the barren, looming mountains of the Sinai. As such the human pressure exerted on the reef has immediate daily impact which needs to be managed. Working under the guidelines of the National Parks of Egypt and as part of the GVI conservation initiative, we can make a contribution to a sustainable relationship between all inhabitants of this ecosystem.
