OPERATION RED SEA is a world's first implementation of the GOBLU3 principles, developed by TheOceanRoamer and entirely supported by the International Association of Dive Professionals.Two locations, are being developed in both the Egyptian and Sudanese Red Sea, together with local stakeholders and partners. Since 2021 volunteers are working in Port Sudan, Ain Sokhna and abroad, to help transform sustainable development, and biodiversity restoration in the Red Sea.

THE LESS TRAVELLED ROAD...

THE LESS TRAVELLED ROAD...

As the idealist entrepreneur, with an intense love for the Red Sea, that I am; would call it...Challenging to say the least.

Summer 2020, while the Coronavirus was raging in Europe, TheOceanRoamer started working on the development of #OPREDSEA. After years of developing the GOBLU3 concept of sustainable marine development. It was time to implement it, and no other place was better suited, than Port Sudan, an area and people he knows well. February '21 he would start the migration of OCEAN ROAMERS from Egypt to Sudan. With the help of partners, fans and followers he finally starts working on the ground in Port Sudan, and in May 2021 he enters into an agreement with the Red Sea University.

BACK IN TIME TO 2006 | RED SEA CATALOGING EXPEDITION

The 2006 Red Sea Cataloging Expedition: 30 Scientists & Volunteers, 3 weeks, 80+ Dives/Day, 570 Km of reefs surveyed, 1800 pictures gathered.

#OPREDSEA | SUDAN saw it's inception, during our work in the M.P.A's. OCEANROAMERS co-organized, and co-sponsored, the only large scale scientific research in Sudan's M.P.A's, in modern times.
The data gathered, during the expedition, resulted in despair, and elation at the same time. The effects of warming were very noticeable. However we also found coral colonies, who had evolved through millennia and adapted to higher Ocean temperatures.
THE FRONTLINE OF OCEAN WARMING

THE FRONTLINE OF OCEAN WARMING

Sudan's Red Sea Coral Reefs, and Coast Lines regularly experience, extreme heatwaves.

Why our work here, is so important.
The Red Sea in Sudan, is in the top 5, of hottest ocean temperatures recorded worldwide. It is defacto one of the global warming frontlines, and also the frontline, of coral reefs resilience to heat. #OPREDSEA aims to find solutions, mitigate the yearly loss of corals, and restore a healthy biosphere.
