 From 6 to 9 December 2005, a symposium on coral reef protection was held in El Quseir on the Red Sea in Egypt at the initiative of the diving company SUBEX.
For the first time ever, a body comprising government representatives, environmental lobbyists, academics, members of the tourism trade, diving enthusiasts and the media met up to work out some pointers on coral reef protection.
Stakeholders are invited to voluntarily sign the EL QUSEIR CHARTER in acknowledgement of their share of the responsibility for conserving our marine habitats. By signing they also actively undertake to conserve coral reefs for themselves and future generations.
To ensure that this objective is achieved, the EL QUSEIR CHARTER is to be distributed worldwide and its global acceptance secured as soon as possible.
The EL QUSEIR CHARTA has been published in January 2006 on the Boot Düsseldorf, the international boat show held in Germany. It is posted on the website www.elquseir-charta.org.
