The RSGA Day:
PERSGA initiated a ‘Red Sea and Gulf of Aden Day’ for regional celebration of the marine environment. The “RSGA Day” has been announced officially by PERSGA Council as the 26 of September of each year, the establishment day of PERSGA. Events have been held in each of the PERSGA member countries, are often opened or led by leading government officials and are always reported in local newspapers, on radio and television. Events have included inter-school general knowledge competitions, public lectures, drama productions, poetry and literary presentations, tree planting events, drawing and story competitions, sponsored soccer games, beach and subtidal (diving) clean-up events.
