Water resources policy and administrative management

Project location:Qeshm (Lat./Long. : 26.631419;55.568848) The project is a production of two environmental documentaries (26 minutes each) on the Persian Gulf with a focus on the species of coral, the community traditions and their interaction with the coastal areas. Abie-e-Bidar will visit 14 Iranian islands and communicate with the indigenous. However, some villages will be chosen as case studies and indicators. The shooting will take place in these villages. The first documentary, Rendez-vous, depicts the perspective of the local community regarding the corals. It also documents the existing species of corals along a 1200 km strip of the northern coastline of the Persian Gulf. For the second documentary, The Blue Awakening, different sections of the first film will be shown to the communities in at least 4 of the 14 islands, 5 fishing cooperatives of the regions and if possible public screening for councils, selected schools, etc. It will be attempted to film the effects (positive or negative) of screening the relationship between the film unit (Abie-e-Bidar) and the indigenous on their behavior. To aim for awareness raising among a younger audience (age group of 10-14) the NGO has produced a book "Our Blue Sea" on the significance of marine ecosystems.
