CAIRO — Egypt is planning to increase fish productivity at one of its most prominent lakes — Lake Bardawil, which lies on the northern coast of the Sinai Peninsula — as part of a wider project aimed to develop the lake.
On Nov. 24, President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi issued directives to begin the new phase of the development of Lake Bardawil aimed at ramping up the lake’s fish production from 4,000 to 11,000 tons annually in the short term, and 50,000 tons in the medium term.
