3rd Sustainable Coastal Development and Ocean Action MENA Forum

This event directly confronts the complex dual challenge facing the Middle East: the necessity of rapid economic development offered by coastal development projects , including commercial, tourism, oil/gas, and nuclear energy infrastructure developed along the coastlines versus the critical need for ecological preservation. Our focus is squarely on addressing core industry challenges and providing actionable solutions.

Key discussions will center on the aspects of coastal construction, coastal infrastructure and ocean habitats preservation. The conference will address geotechnical challenges during land reclamation and coastal construction, coastal infrastructure challenges which includes corrosion to the steel structures, the massive challenges surrounding climate change including coastal erosion and rising sea levels, while promoting innovative ecological protection solutions including nature-based solutions, sustainable dredging practices, and coral reef restoration projects.

The Forum will host regulators, master developers, contractors, engineering consultants and environmental experts to discuss strategies, best practices and major impediments in achieving successful lifecycle management of coastal developments. Attendees will gain exclusive insights into major regional projects reshaping the MENA region and leave equipped with the knowledge and connections to drive sustainable investments, ensure environmental protection (especially for vital habitats such as the coral reefs and mangroves), and future-proof the MENA coastline for generations to come.
