MARINE EDUCATION
Our Programme
One of the most important goals of Project Azraq is to improve the education about all aspects of our oceans. As Jacques-Yves Cousteau said “People protect what they love, they love what they understand and they understand what they are taught.”
Our team have developed a comprehensive marine education programme based on the species we are monitoring. By participating in the course, students can become more aware of the importance of the reefs, learn about marine life, the global threats to the reefs and what can be done.
REEF DIVER PRESENTATIONS
Project Azraq collaborate with many local dive centre & travel operator. We offer marine education presentations to their customers.
COMMUNITY PRESENTATIONS
Afternoon Presentations
In order to spread awareness of key ocean issues to as wide an audience as possible we open our doors for everyone to join our community presentations. These one hour presentations cover global and Red Sea specific anthropological and ecological issues. Plus at the end there is a chance for Q&A with our science team.
