	Saudi Aramco World : The Lakes of Egypt (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Lake Qarun, for example, lies at the edge of the fertile Fayyum region, but at the far end of the lake, in striking contrast, are the dunes of the Western Desert.
		One particularly lovely lake is Lake Bardawil, in Sinai, which sits like a blue-green gemstone embedded in dunes of sand that change in color from brown to yellow to pink, depending on the time of day.
		Lake Bardawil, fishermen claim, is being choked by weeds because two channels which connect the lake to the Mediterranean are clogged with sand.

	Nile perch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Adult Nile perch occupy all habitats of a lake with sufficient oxygen concentrations, while juveniles are restricted to shallow or nearshore environments.
		The Nile perch was introduced to Lake Victoria, in East Africa, in the 1950s, where it is fished commercially and has had a catastrophic effect on local fishes, causing the extinction of several hundred native species.
		Among the Lake Victoria population, 95 percent of the Nile perch's diet consists of native cichlids, at least half of whose species have been totally wiped out.

	Lake Mariout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lake Mariout (also spelled Maryut or Mariut) is a salt lake, or rather brackish, of about 250 square km in northern Egypt.
		It is separated from the Mediterranean Sea by the narrow isthmus on which the city of Alexandria was built.
		The lake shore is home to fisheries and saltworks.

		The Ancient Egyptians called the lands and the people west of the fertile Nile valley and Lake Mareotis the Tehenu (Land of the Olive), while the eastern part of the lake was in the Kingdom of the Harpoon.
		The comfortable ferry across the lake was probably the preferred route from east to west as well as north to south, and numerous jetties that can still be traced in the mud show that much traffic plied to and forth.
		As the lake dried into a salty, marshy swamp the surrounding hills were bared when the thinly rooted vegetation was washed away by rains.

	Lake Mariut (Mariout, Maryut, Mareotis), a Landlocked Sea South of Alexandria
		Lake Mariut (Mariout, Maryut, Mareotis) is just south of, and actually forms the southern border of Alexandria.
		During antiquity, the lake was therefore fed by the Nile through the canals, but since then the water level has continuously declined, leaving the eastern part of the lake dried up, which is now cultivated land.
		Nowadays, the lake is about a meter (3 feet) lower than in the Graeco-Roman period, attested by the ancient harbors that now are left somewhat high and dry.

		Joined by 1,500 fishermen, the aforementioned NGO filed a suit against the governorate in 2003, obtaining an administrative court verdict that all decisions permitting disposal of waste in the lake should be annulled.
		Targeting the factories responsible for pollution, the project aims to systematise their waste disposal as well as cleaning the lake and beautifying its shores -- not to mention improving the housing and living conditions of 75,000 people who depend on the lake and 10,000 who work on related professions.

		Lake Maryut, which is one of four Nile delta lakes, is situated south of Alexandria.
		The lake is heavily polluted from industrial, agricultural and domestic effluent sources.
		Remediation should focus initially on the northern shore of the lake, but further analyses are necessary to identify a full range of potential organic and inorganic pollutants.

		Massive apartment buildings are under construction everywhere, many in the city districts of Samuha and Siuf, formerly part of the marshes of Lake Maryut.
		Lake Maryut has lost 75% of its area to urban encroachment and waste dumping.
		Likewise, the adjacent Lake Burullus has lost 85% of its marsh and nearly 40% of its open water; although officially designated a protected area, a new highway runs through it.

	Sandgrouse - Breeding Whiskered Tern in Egypt
		HE NILE DELTA lakes in northern Egypt, in particular Lakes Burullus and Manzala, are the most important known wintering areas for Palearctic-breeding Whiskered Tern Chlidonias hybridus (Goodman and Meininger 1989).
		Although Ticehurst (1912) reported that several Whiskered Tern were at Lake Maryut on 15 May 1909 and according to local people 'many arrive there towards the end of the month and breed in reed-beds', Goodman and Meininger (1989) stated that there was no conclusive evidence that it had bred in Egypt.
		Unfortunately, throughout the delta lakes, habitat destruction through reclamation, urbanisation and pollution is occurring so rapidly that, in some cases, we will probably not even know what has disappeared.

		Thousands of fishermen were displaced and an investor drained some 20 feddans to use as an area for filling gas cylinders.” The draining of 3,000 feddans of the lake will in all likelihood result in a major environmental disaster.
		Of the lake’s 15,048.85 feddans, 44 per cent is covered with aquatic plants.
		A senior official in the Ministry of Agriculture confirmed however that decision No. 179 was issued in 2001 by the fisheries development authority and approved by the ministry and other parties concerned, to allocate 3,000 feddans for the development of oil services.

		I discovered that this fish, native of Africa, is one of the most sought after by anglers, it being easily the largest freshwater fish in the world, with only the rare manseer in India and Mekong catfish reaching anything like the size of the Nile Perch.
		This fish is a voracious predator, and when introduced into Lake Victoria in the 1960`s it decimated 95 per cent of the local fish stocks.
		Many people catch the biggest fish of their lives in Lake Nasser and it is considered a centre of sporting excellence by big game fishermen the world over.

		In the 1960s, Lake Maryut used to produce 30,000 tons of fish a year, now it produces less than 3000 tons.
		Fishermen have had to leave these areas, local residents have had health problems and there is a problem of noxious gas emissions in some areas.

	Zawiet Umm el-Rakham: Western Frontier Fortresses 2
		A fortress at Rhacotis could have served to defend the Canopic Nile against intruders, it being one of the main entrances to Egypt, with access to freshwater from Lake Maryut (Khalil 2002:19).
		The "western waters" and "western canal" may be equated with the former Canopic Branch of the Nile that once flowed to the west of the modern Rosetta branch, discharging into the Mediterranean at Canopus (fig.ii) (Gardiner 1918:130-131).
		However, it could also refer to Lake Maryut, in which case numerous sites in the region could be said to be on "the western waters".

		For Oussama Aboul Dahab al-Rayis, the simplest and least expensive solution would be to evacuate the treated sewage from the two main centres in the desert instead of the already polluted Lake Maryut.
		This would irrigate the land, thus creating a green belt around Alexandria which would serve as a barrier against sea erosion which will attack the coast as soon as Lake Maryut is completely dead.

	THE LOCATION AND RECONSTRUCTION OF A BYZANTINE STRUCTURE IN MAREA
		This paper reports the location and reconstruction of a Byzantine structure in the now buried city of Marea along the shores of Lake Maryut, some 44 km southwest of Alexandria, Egypt.
		Both lake and city – the one now vastly diminished, strongly alkaline, and no deeper than four feet at any point – the other abandoned and buried – still possess a certain charm, particularly during the early evening.
		The lake served at once as a source of food, a means of transportation, and a place of pleasure, and the town was ideally positioned as a way-stop for travellers going up and down the country.

		Along with a multi-stakeholder team, Elremisy helped arranging meeting and group discussions among the fishermen, NGOs and the municipality.
		The group discussions reflected mainly the current problems, identified strategic goals and proposed alternative solution to improve the situation of Lake Maryut.
