Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation has reviewed progress on coastal protection projects designed to reduce the impact of climate change on the country’s shoreline.
Water Resources Minister Hani Sewilam chaired a meeting with senior ministry officials, representatives of the Egyptian Shore Protection Authority, and experts from the National Water Research Center to assess ongoing projects.
The review focused on initiatives aimed at strengthening the resilience of coastal areas against environmental and climate-related challenges, while protecting urban, economic, and development zones along Egypt’s coastline.
Sewilam emphasized that Egypt’s coasts are strategic national assets, hosting concentrated urban communities, development projects, and economic activities. He stressed the need for integrated scientific planning to preserve them.
