M. Alramzi explained that “the workshop included the screening of a documentary film that highlighted the Sulaibikhat Marine Reserve and its role in protecting marine biodiversity in the State of Kuwait, in addition to the presentation of a scientific paper entitled The Sulaibikhat Marine Reserve in the State of Kuwait: Achievements and Future Plans, presented by Dr. Turki Al-Saeed, Director of the Marine and Coastal Management Program.
Dr. Manal Al-Kandari delivered a lecture titled "Biodiversity of Marine Organisms in Intertidal Zones and its Role in Environmental Sustainability," while Dr. Abrar Akbar focused her lecture on the importance of mangrove trees along the Kuwaiti coast and their vital environmental role. The Sulaibikhat Marine Nature Reserve is one of the important marine reserves in Kuwait Bay, established by a decision of the Supreme Council for the Environment in 2016 with the aim of protecting the marine environment, developing biodiversity, and rehabilitating its ecosystem.
He stressed “the importance of encouraging youth and volunteer teams to attend such workshops and scientific seminars,” noting that “these events represent a unique opportunity to expand their knowledge about deep environmental issues and enhance their understanding of their role as active participants in protecting Kuwait’s natural resources.” He added that “raising environmental awareness among members of society, especially the younger generation, contributes to building a society that is more respectful of the environment and the sustainability of its resources for future generations.”.
He noted that “the participation of young people in scientific events is not limited to learning only, but also gives them the opportunity to contribute to practical solutions and make a tangible positive impact on the Kuwaiti environmental community,” stressing that “investing in young people is an investment in the future of a healthy and sustainable environment.”.
