Based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, which classified the Nile Delta as one of the world's top three most vulnerable hotspots, the implementation of 69 km of coastal protection works was a vital and proactive measure. The project targeted five coastal governorates (Kafr El-Sheikh, Beheira, Dakahlia, Port Said, and Damietta) with the aim of safeguarding citizens' lives, preserving agricultural lands and infrastructure, and protecting massive national investments estimated at approximately $8.4 Billion
