Volunteer divers help HEPCA
calendar_monthMay 18, 2008
In a unique initiative, volunteer divers working as dive professionals in the Safaga area have joined forces with the HEPCA mooring team to help maintain existing and install new Safaga mooring systems. The volunteer divers have all been trained in the use of the special mooring equipment and gained first hand experience of installation techniques. This important community partnership will help to enhance the sustainability of the mooring systems and we hope to launch similar partner schemes elsewhere in the Red Sea soon. HEPCA is currently installing new moorings throughout the Egyptian Red Sea areas of Hurghada, Safaga and El Gouna. Using a special new double manta system, we are doubling the number of moorings in the Red Sea in a mammoth project that will be completed by the end of 2008.
