Protecting Saudi Waters: National Marine Waste Remediation & Prevention Program
Designed and operationalized a nationwide program for shoreline and marine waste remediation, prevention, and monitoring under MEWA.
The Challenge
Saudi coastlines faced escalating marine litter issues, lacking a unified operational model, technological monitoring mechanisms, and harmonized roles across municipalities, MEWA, and enforcement entities.
Our Approach
- Designed a marine waste remediation model, with tiered response units, rapid deployment crews, and equipment standards.
- Developed a prevention system: awareness, compliance, enforcement pathways, and operational SOPs.
- Implemented a monitoring & data ecosystem including satellite integration, daily shoreline assessments, and reporting dashboards.
- Clarified roles between MEWA, municipalities, and coastguard entities through governance frameworks.
Results & Impact
- 32% waste reduction in pilot zones.
- Coverage of 1,200 km of shoreline under unified SOPs.
- National digital dashboard for incident reporting and resource deployment.
- Stronger cross‑agency coordination, shortening remediation cycles significantly.
