We’re proud to be part of this remarkable environmental project in Egypt, led by HEPCA and supported by the Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, Ministry of Higher Education, and the Red Sea Protectorates.
This initiative marks a new era in shark tracking and marine research in the Red Sea. For the first time, satellite tracking devices have been installed on sharks to monitor their vertical and horizontal movements — providing critical insights into their behavior and habitats.
In addition, this groundbreaking project includes:
✅ The creation of Egypt’s first Shark DNA Bank through genetic sampling
✅ Dorsal fin photography and the assignment of unique ID numbers to individual sharks
✅ A dedicated system to identify sharks in rare incident cases and inform divers of potential sighting areas
These efforts are not only essential for marine conservation but also contribute to advanced risk management and scientific understanding. Genetic analysis is helping researchers determine whether these sharks are permanent residents of the Red Sea or visitors from the open ocean.
Together, we're protecting marine life, advancing sustainability, and supporting world-class scientific research in one of the world’s most biodiverse marine ecosystems.
