Egypt’s Lakes and Fisheries Law Addresses Water Pollution and Fishing Obstructions

Egypt’s Law on the Protection and Development of Lakes and Fish Resources sets out measures to protect lake waters from pollution and address obstacles to fishing.

The provisions cover two connected concerns: damage to the aquatic environment and interference with fishing activity. Both fall within the law’s framework for protecting lakes and fish resources.

Water protection is a central part of that framework, with the legislation addressing pollution that harms lake waters. It also tackles obstructions that hinder fishing.

The available summary identifies these areas of protection but does not detail the prohibited acts, enforcement procedures or penalties attached to violations.
