15 Project in Iran Technical Cooperation 15

16 Project Outline Status On going Project Title Project on Development and Implementation of a Master Plan for Environmental Conservation and Management of Southern Coastal Areas of the I.R. Iran (Case Study Hormozgan Province) Project Duration 3 years Khuzestan Caspian Sea Bushehr Hormozgan Sistan and Baluchestan Map source: 16

17 Project Goal To develop a mechanism for the formulation and implementation of master plan(s) for environmental conservation and management To enhance the capacity of DOE and other stakeholders in formulation and implementation of Master Plans for environmental conservation and management Biological Database, Department of Environment, Iran 17

18 Project Implementation Procedure Baseline Study Scientific information Legal framework Evaluation study Development of Database Zoning and identification of sensitive area Structural study Local involvement Organizational structure Master plan study Master plan Action plan Implement ation Implementation of the action plan Review of the plans Expansion of the target area 18

19 Project in Oman Technical Cooperation 19

20 Status Under consultation Project Outline Project Title Development of Marine Environment Conservation Strategy 2050 and Action Plans in Oman Project Duration 5 years Project Purpose To develop a Marine Environment Conservation Strategy and Action Plans through institutional collaboration of multiple stakeholders 20

21 Step 1: EBSA Screening Project Schedule (Tentative) 1 st Year 2 nd Year 3 rd Year 4 th Year 5 th Year MECA (Biodiversity) to cover the rest of the territorial water of Oman. Step 2: Ecological classification based on key characteristics Step 3: Qualitative and Quantitative analysis to identify potential MPAs Step 4: Pilot activities to examine management techniques Final Stage: Complete the Strategy and Action Plan with lessons from the pilot activities Define key ecological features, e.g. important habitats, wildlife communities, etc, and a long list of candidate MPAs (20-30 sites?) shall be identified within EBSAs, primarily using existing data. Criteria to be defined for developing a short list of MPAs (5 sites?). Biological and socioeconomic surveys in 5 (?) candidate MPAs, and 2 to 3 sites (?) be selected for pilot actions. Planning of pilot activities. Pilot activities on ecotourism (MOT) and sustainable fishing (MAFW) to be implemented in 2 to 3 sites (?) of the candidate MPAs. Develop a draft strategy and action plan (master plan) with relevant guidelines and manuals of identifying MPAs. General management guidelines (conservation strategy) to be prepared for the MPAs in the long list. More specific management and action plan be prepared for the MPAs in the short list. For those MPAs with pilot activities, the lessons from the experience will be reflected. Final Stage Symposium with ROPME to share experience with other GCC nations 21

25 Annex1 (High Efficiency Desalination System) 25

26 Annex1 (High Efficiency Desalination System) 26

27 Annex1 (High Efficiency Desalination System) Two-stage reverse osmosis system, High-pressure RO system and Lowpressure RO system, was adopted to produce higher quality water Freshwater recovery rate improvement (60%) allows less volume of sea water intake which requires less space and results in lower costs 27
