SEC Approves New Organisational Structure For Sharjah Museums Authority To Enhance Efficiency
The Sharjah Executive Council convened on Tuesday morning, led by H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Salem bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah. H.H. Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi was also present. The meeting focused on enhancing government operations, evaluating departmental performance, and reviewing development projects across Sharjah's cities and regions.
During the session, the council decided to transfer Abdulrahman Abdullah Mohammed Al Naqbi from his role as Director of Khorfakkan Municipality to a new position at the Roads and Transport Authority (SRTA). He will now serve as the Director of the Branches Department while maintaining his current level of responsibility.
Khalfan Saleh Al Harithi Al Naqbi received a promotion from his current position as Director of the Branches Department at the Sharjah Department of Economic Development. He will now hold the rank of Department Director under the Sharjah Government Special Jobs System and assume the role of Director of Khorfakkan Municipality.
The council also approved a plan to enhance the organisational structure of the Sharjah Museums Authority. This initiative aims to enable the Authority to fulfill its duties more efficiently. The General Secretariat has been tasked with implementing this new framework officially.
The council reviewed the 2024 achievements report from the Sharjah Fish Resources Authority. This document highlighted various efforts, including 25 visits to fishing groups, organising 16 events, launching 11 initiatives, providing 138 training sessions, and processing 1,175 transactions for fishermen.
Among key projects is an aquaculture farm designed to ensure food security by boosting fish populations and supporting the local economy. The farm will include 10 marine cages expected to produce around 300 tons of different fish species annually. A fish farming simulation model will educate visitors and students about fish farming techniques.
Innovative Projects for Local Fisheries
The installation of artificial caves along Sharjah's eastern coast is another project aimed at increasing fish populations and protecting local wildlife. Additionally, plans for a fishermen's village in Al Hamriyah were detailed. This village will provide essential facilities for local fishermen, including boat parking areas, storage buildings, housing with administrative offices, and a mosque accommodating up to 200 people.
The report also mentioned agreements signed with various scientific and government organisations to improve research and training in the fishing industry. These partnerships aim to ensure that fishermen receive optimal services promptly.
The meeting underscored significant steps taken by Sharjah's authorities to enhance governance and support local industries through strategic appointments and innovative projects. These efforts reflect a commitment to sustainable development across various sectors in Sharjah.
