Здравствуйте, уважаемые!
Говорят, подняли цену на въезд (заплыв) в заповедники Красного моря Brothers, Elphinstone, Dedalus. У кого-нибудь есть более подробная информация - что по чем? Может есть какие-то официальные источники, где об этом можно прочитать?

Cash boost for Red Sea Reefs

Reefs of the Red Sea are to receive a substantial cash boost next year. An agreement has been reached between the Red Sea Governorate, The Ministry of the Environment, and the Red Sea NGO's (Red Sea Association for Diving and Watersports, and HEPCA), whereby a standard blanket marine activities environmental fee of $3.00 will be levied on each diver or snorkeller on a daily basis.

The new agreement is significant in that it heavily involved, perhaps for the first time, the active participation and feed back of the stakeholders who will be most effected by any such measures.


It is important to note that the new decree regulating this procedure has included for the first time two important demands made by the Red Sea Association on behalf of the sector, namely;

1- There is a clear commitment that the majority of the receipts of those fees is reinvested for the well being and protection of the marine environment in the Red Sea, including financial support to the regions’ active NGO's.

2- That a grace period of at least one year is accorded.

Here is a translation of the decree in question:
