Heading NCS, Dr. Moustafa Fouda is responsible for all decisions related to the 

protectorate. He holds direct communication lines with the Red Sea rangers, and due to the 

important status of Red Sea Protectorate, he places the Protectorate's issues at the top of his 

agenda.

Current Organizational Structure of the NCS 

In the current NCS Organizational Structure, the NCS Head reports directly to the Minister 

of State for Environmental Affairs, and the CEO. The NCS Head oversees both the Natural 

Protectorates Management Director General and the Biodiversity Director General. Each of 

these two Directors oversees vast programs. The Protectorates Director manages the 

protectorates of four regions: Southern, Northern, Central and Sinai. Within each region 

there can be any number of protectorates. The Biodiversity Director oversees four 

programs, covering: Biodiversity Economics, Environmental (Habitat) Diversity, Species 

Diversity and Genetic Diversity. On a level below these programs are sections covering 

specific categories of biodiversity. Refer to Figure 6 for an Organizational Chart.
