Welcome to Dr. Hanafy

HEPCA is extremely honoured to welcome the esteemed Professor, Dr. Mahmoud Hanafy, as a member of the HEPCA team. Dr. Hanafy is an eminent Marine Biologist and a Professor from Suez Canal University. He is one of the most respected experts in the field of Marine Biology, and is particularly well known for his specialist research and work in conservation and fisheries. Dr. Hanafy also works as a Special Advisor to the National Parks of the Red Sea, and also the Red Sea Governorate. HEPCA is delighted that Dr. Hanafy has agreed to join the HEPCA staff as Scientific Advisor where he will be responsible for establishing the scientific arm of our organisation. This is an area that HEPCA has long wished to develop, which will greatly complement our existing work, and assist us tremendously in achieving our objectives. Dr. Hanafy has already worked together with the HEPCA team for many years in an advisory capacity. His technical assistance has had a significant bearing on the success of such projects and campaigns as the fight for Giftun Island, the Shark Project, the campaign to stop oil drilling in the Red Sea, and many legislation issues. We look forward to working together with Dr. Hanafy to further our commitment towards conservation throughout the Red Sea region.
