Abstract

El Bardawil lagoon 600 square kilometers of surface area, lies along the northern coast of Sinai. The only source of water feeding this lagoon is the Mediterranean sea through two artificial boughazes and a natural outlet.. Serious problems related to shoaling and/or closure of these boughazes which transfer the lagoon to a salt pan and destroy fish productivity are addressed.. This paper reports on the. field program launched by the Coastal Research Institute (CRI) and the main findings, conclusions and recommendations of the control measures of such problem.
