Conservation of the Marine Hima of Qoleileh Village, South Lebanon Background Qoleileh, a coastal village in South Lebanon, is home to one of the country's few remaining healthy marine ecosystems. It has rocky shores, seagrass beds, and rich biodiversity, including important fish species and migratory birds. In response to growing threats from overfishing, coastal pollution, and unsustainable development, a marine Hima (community-conserved area) was established as part of a broader effort to protect Lebanon’s coastal and marine heritage. https://www.spnl.org/conservation-of-the-marine-hima-of-qoleileh-village-south-lebanon/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=jetpack_social
