Kuwait eMISK opportunities: Invitation to tender

The Kuwait Environment Public Authority in collaboration with UK Centre for Environment Fisheries & Aquaculture Science (Cefas) is offering a fantastic opportunity to work together on world class marine science in Kuwait.

Kuwait Bay

Building on the success of our previous work in Kuwait, the Kuwait Environment Public Authority (EPA) and Cefas will work jointly to develop an extensive understanding of Kuwait’s marine environment, which will improve and energise both national and regional ocean governance to protect the Gulfs’ marine ecosystems. This will help sustain regional food and water security and support sustainable economic growth and diversification.

Utilising marine expertise within Cefas, the project will promote international best practice and address prominent issues including those of marine litter pollution and the protection of critically endangered species and habitats that are located within the Gulf.

To deliver the programme, Cefas will require the support of subcontractors. Details of these opportunities and on how to bid are available the Cefas website.
