SEA WATCH Overview
SEA WATCH is a platform for reporting public ecological risks in the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Eilat. Operated by the Nature and Parks Authority, it aims to enhance the ecological status of the Mediterranean Sea and the Gulf of Eilat, allowing direct public involvement in marine conservation.
As an action center, SEA WATCH emphasizes the critical quality of reports for successful intervention. Anonymity is not accepted; contact details are required for effective communication and further information gathering on incidents. Contact details remain confidential, with only chosen aliases used in the reporting map.
Reports undergo evaluation and detailed, reliable ones are forwarded to relevant authorities for necessary actions. Some reports receive direct response from the Nature and Parks Authority, including removal of fishing nets, marine debris clean-up, and invasive species management with academic researchers' assistance.
