Tunisia programs / Tunisia project 664-0353 · 1990–1995
Grant is provided to the Tunisian Regional Institute for Informatics and Telecommunications (IRSIT) to conduct, in collaboration with the U.S.-based Science in Applications International Corporation (SAIC), a pilot coastal zone monitoring activity. IRSIT and its collaborating agencies will collect, analyze, and generate data relating to phosphogypsum pollution at a known polluted site in the Gulf of Gabes on the Tunisian coastline. The data will be presented to Tunisian government officials as a real-life example of how pollution information can be collected and be used to identify specific polluters. The project will also demonstrate Tunisian capability to apply Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology, as well as the latest U.S.-developed environmental monitoring technology (e.g., side scan sonar, acoustic-based coring, and sediment profiling by camera). Project outputs will include GIS maps of the area, technical and popular reports, and an outline of a prototypical coastal zone management plan. The plan will cover data collection and analysis, capacity-building in ministries, regulation and enforcement issues, and participation issues. The project will culminate in a 1
