Yes. Assiut University works directly on technologies and practices that help the marine and freshwater industries minimize or prevent damage to aquatic ecosystems through research, training, and collaboration with industry stakeholders. Here’s a detailed summary with evidence:
- Collaborative Research on Pollution and Habitat Protection
The Faculty of Science conducts studies on the environmental impacts of marine and freshwater industries, including pollution, habitat degradation, and chemical contamination. Research includes monitoring microplastics in fish from the Red and Mediterranean Seas and assessing industrial pollutants like pyrogallol and nonylphenol to develop mitigation strategies. - Assiut University SDG14 Report: Practices to Reduce Damage to Aquatic Ecosystems [aun.edu.eg] [aun.edu.eg]
- Policy and Industry Collaboration
The university has a formal policy to prevent marine pollution from land-based activities, including partnerships with local industries to implement best practices for waste management and water quality monitoring.
Report: Policy on Preventing Marine Pollution [aun.edu.eg] - Research on Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture
Through the Aquatic Animals Medicine and Management Unit, Assiut University provides training in fish farming, aquaculture, and molecular biology, promoting sustainable practices that reduce environmental harm.
Assiut University SDG14 Initiatives [aun.edu.eg] - International Conferences and Innovation
The university organizes conferences such as “Innovative Solutions in Biology for a Sustainable Future” to address environmental challenges, including biodiversity loss and sustainable marine practices.
Second International Conference of Biological Sciences [aun.edu.eg] - The faculty of science at our university conducted an extensive research on the environmental impacts of marine and freshwater industries, including pollution, habitat destruction, and overfishing.
