Glass-bottom Boats Tourism Data Collection in Aqaba - final report
The MED4EBM Project introduces an innovative approach to Integrated Coastal Zone Management across four target areas: Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Italy. In Jordan, the project identified fisheries and sustainable coastal tourism as priority management issues. This research deliverable focuses on the glass-bottom boat tourism sector in Aqaba, Jordan—a significant contributor to the region's tourism industry and livelihoods of around 200 families. Aqaba Touristic Boats Society, established in June 1994, actively engaged in field data collection for the first time, appointing a specialist and three assistants to gather insights on this traditional and culturally valuable craft. The dataset includes key metrics such as gasoline usage, travel distance, revenue, and visitor demographics, offering valuable insights into the operational aspects and popularity of glass-bottom boat tours in Aqaba. This analysis serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the dynamics of this eco-friendly tourism activity, its economic impact, and the need for sustainable management practices to preserve Aqaba's rich marine heritage and support its vibrant tourism sector.
Fisheries Management Data Analysis Deliverable
The fourth consultancy deliverable of the MED4EBM project presents a comprehensive analysis of fish catch data and associated fishing operations in the coastal zone of Aqaba, Jordan. Conducted between 28th August and 28th September 2023, this analysis focuses on key metrics such as fish counts (Kg), number of fishing trips, total catch (Kg), petrol consumption (JD), and fishing value (JD) across various locations including ACT, OPS, OPLB, HB, and OPM. The data reveals dynamic patterns in fishing efforts and returns, with notable fluctuations during specific periods and distinct trends across different fishing sites. Swordfish emerges as the dominant species, while other species display varying success rates. "ACT" consistently excels in fish count (Kg) and fishing trips, with "OPM" showing higher trends, indicating their potential attractiveness to fishermen. This analysis underscores the importance of careful fisheries management in the Jordanian coastal area, encompassing approximately 27KM with restricted fishing zones. It sets the groundwork for long-term, reliable data gathering, involving the fishing community directly to sustain their livelihoods and preserve the cultural heritage of traditional fishing practices while ensuring the viability of fisheries and regenerative fishing stocks in the region.
