Red Sea Project
Sudan's bountiful Red Sea coast has been home to aquaculture projects since 1905 and is highly suitable for the sustainable farming of a variety of marine species.
Mariculture in Sudan
Mariculture began in Sudan in 1905 when the Sudanese government began cultivating and selling pearl shells. The pristine waters and many lagoons make the Sudanese Red Sea coast ideal for ocean farming. This ideal environment is also combined with the many native species of the Red Sea commonly consumed in Gulf countries and having well-developed cultivation techniques.
Donganob Bay, Sudan
Less than 100 miles from Port Sudan, the area provides a sanctuary for dugongs and other marine species. The isolated islands almost untouched by human activities have retained their integrity and authenticity as one of the most natural conserved islands in the Red Sea. The biodiversity flourishes on the developed biosystems of mangrove swamps, lagoons, bays, and rock beaches and mountain ranges.
