National Program to Conserve Qatar’s Coastal Ecosystems Announced

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, Qatar University's Environmental Science Center, and Qatar Foundation's Earthna Center for a Sustainable Future have signaled their intent to collaborate on a national program that aims to conserve and restore Qatar's coastal ecosystems.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) among the three parties to establish the program was signed yesterday on the sidelines of a Doha ceremony to officially name MSC Cruises' first LNG-propelled cruise ship, MSC World Europa, which has been designed to set a new standard for sustainability in the cruise industry.
