bLYSs celebrates a successful practicum and ongoing fieldwork in Sinai

While our team members Dana Ahmed and Farah Sweis carry forward bLYSs activities in Sinai, we are delighted to announce that the practicum of Amna Usmani and Jessica Liebmann, supported by MITACS funding (2026), has been successfully completed.

Their contribution reflects the spirit of bLYSs as a UN Ocean Decade Blue Catalyst programme: connecting people, places, and knowledge across borders in the service of more equitable ocean and coastal futures.

We warmly thank Amna and Jessica for their dedication, and invite you to read Amna's reflections on the experience in our latest blog post.
