Egypt is continuing the implementation of monitoring and follow-up programmes for coastal water quality across its shores to assess the environmental status of the water, the Ministry of Environment said on Saturday. The periodic monitoring of coastal water quality is conducted in cooperation with the Institute of Graduate Studies and Research at Alexandria University and the National Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries. According to Awad, the programmes involve periodic measurements and analyses of physical, chemical, and biological water quality indicators. The ministry added that the monitoring programmes rely on the latest scientific methods and modern technologies for sample collection and data analysis. By providing decision-makers with accurate and reliable information, the ministry aims to support the protection of coastal ecosystems and the preservation of marine biodiversity.
