The Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Region is rich in key marine ecosystems
salt marshes mangroves
seagrass beds coral reefs
Shoreline protection and Soil Stability
Fish Nursery/ Breeding habitats
Biodiversity Support
Water Purification and quality
Support livelihood and economyFisheries
e.g. Yemen
The Fishery sector:
Employs, directly or indirectly, around 500,000 people, mostlyin rural areas, where there are few other employmentopportunities
Contributes significantly to the GDP
Coastal tourism
Egypt: Hotel capacity allocation by Governorate
Egypt: Tourism revenues (billion dollars)

Strategic Ecosystem Management of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden (SEM) Project
ROPME Workshop on Regional EBM Strategy3rd-6th April 2016, Dubai
EBM included in the SEM Project
Development and Component Objectives
Launched in 2014 and will be closed in 2017
PDO: is to improve management of marine resources in the Red
Sea and Gulf of Aden in selected MPAs building on resource
protection, incentive systems for communities and the
harmonization of the knowledge base of marine resources
between PERSGA member countries. This will be achieved
through institutional Technical Assistance with on-the-ground
activities, including application of Ecosystem Based Management
principles
Includes 3 components

2 Delegation of management Management of use by the user.
3 Transboundary effects Livelihood takes note of transboundary effects.
4 Economic context Livelihood secures employment and wealth particularly in
vulnerable and poorly represented groups.
5 Conservation/sustain-able
use
Livelihood and the biological resources that support it are
sustained.
6 Carrying capacity Livelihood operates within the carrying-capacity of the
biological resources that sustain it.
7 Spatial and temporal Livelihood operates within objective spatial and temporal
boundaries.
8 Long-term management The livelihood operates in the context of long-term
management.
9 Adaptive management Livelihood can continue when subject to adaptive
management (is adaptive and resilient).
