CASE description
The CASE is characterised by a fluvio-marine delta, a low lying coast with lagoon and wetlands (Idku and El- Brulus), its coastal length is about 180 km. The Delta is composed of 7 main administrative units (Governorates). Almost 14 million person residents are situated at the narrow strip around the Nile River. Prevailing land/sea uses are: agriculture tourism, fisheries, industry, maritime and Oil and gas exploration.
