try to build a strategical cooperation with successful international marine environment protection conventions and organise projects to transfer the knowledge the have into an Egyptian framework!

Dear Dr. Ewald

Thank you for suggestion

I will try

kind regards,

Dear brother,

This could easily be performed through two important things;

• Setting restricted rules against the corrupting human activities, 
• Individuals awarness about pollution hazards and impacts.

Kind regards, 

Ahmed

Dear Brother

thanks for answer.

but the first one one very hard even our government now started to fill lakes land and they do nothing for this.

second one I think as researcher we can take part through it as researcher but also government has to show it through media.

as researcher do you think what shall we do more?

kind regards,

Mohamed

Thanks for all your inputs.

I believe that we have a wide historical database of the lakes, however there are some gaps still need to be covered. All we need as a scientific community is to put a strategic plan in clear objectives stating clear numbers after 5 years or 10 years in case of ongoing active hazards, the loss will be ...such number. On the other side, estimation in economic values gained from saving and protecting these resources in the same time frame will be ....

All the government, the parliament and public through the media, schools, and in youth centers are part of this plan. 

I know that most of researchers do most of that review only to get fund for their projects to continue monitoring and observing of the damage, and repeat the same work without any step to circulate these information between the parties that i just mentioned, or to make the data available for public and by the way this is one of the reject reasons of funding the Egyptian projects proposed by the Egyptian researchers.

I see a good example here in my research group in US, they have annual meeting with the Congress, regular meetings with the media, and good collaboration with schools. Hope to see this one day in Egypt!!

still waiting your experiences

Egypt has many scientists working on Northern Egyptian Lakes and Lagoons

regards

Dear brother,

I totally agree with you.

Actually we have several research studies (i.e. M.Sc., PhD and manuscripts, projects) on Egyptian Lakes. These studies have successfully identified the problem and proposed the solutions and how to minimize destructive human activities. The thing is that the government has no idea about such studies; we don't have a real link with the decision makers. To solve this, we only need the government to be connected with us as scientific community and to trust our results as well as consider our recommendations. I see that everything related to the Lakes should be carried out through the scientists who realize the problem and have the solution in order to take the correct decision and the constructive action.

As researchers, we should create a scientific community for Lakes conservation and find a place for us in the decision making. 

Sincerely,

Ahmed 

Dear Brother

you touch the main point : ( the government has no idea about such studies)

how we can solve it?

i supposed that the environment ministry and the scientific research ministry is part of government that should care about these studies not us as individuals.

but we shall try to rise up our voices to our ministry may be one will care about that, really there is a great demand  to water and to food and government start last month to care i read in news about project for northern lakes but hope first to stop cutting of lakes areas by making legislation for this.

kind regards

Mohamed

you have to liase with politicians to make progress in this matters. We could anticipate a factfinding meeting when I am next time in Kairo!

It's my pleasure prof. Ewald

Just let me know when you be in Cairo next time.

Kind regards

I try also to find cooperation partners for this people:

You know them?

Remote sensing is one option for Lakes management.

Coastal colour could be very useful tool for Ocean productivity.

Let's share our experiences in this area.

Law and law at first and after then the scientific role will be more active to solve any urgent issues related to the lakes.

Legal management by law 

I agree

this could be helpful if we can use it for Egyptian lake as one of the management

tools.

perhaps there are many work already done but we can share and discuss it here if possible.

Thank you for the question and I give my regards

By bioremediation and study the pollution type in these aquatic systems.

I strongly agree with our colleague Dr. Ewald Schnug, very excellent suggestion, because such project is needing huge budget that offered by many international specialist organizations. My full respect to other impressive comments.

First of All, you must use the data we have and do GIS analyses to give us a right map to Environmental Pollutants we have in consideration of (organic and inorganic pollutants)such as Pesticides, Heavy Metals, Oil Spills, algae and ......etc. and then according to this map you will start with high level of contamination or pollution level to check the sources of pollutants around Agricultural, Industrial or human Activities and must study lands around Northern Lakes and coast Zone. for Example : Edku lake has a high level of contamination of Organphosphate Pesticides so, you must to building program for pesticides with Agricultural researcher and Ministry find different group of Pesticides and start use one of the methods to biodegradation and remediation for this pesticides also, you can use GIS programs to find where and how to get a new way for the drains waste. contact the big company and manufactures and with Bioengineering scientific cooperation find Biological Filters to fit every one of these companies waste to control and minimizes a big part. you must also, setup research program with different specialists and Engineering to follow all around the Northern Lakes and coast Zone. Actually, it is a great question and I`m interested in it, Good Luck Dr. Mohamed
