Coastal Management Program - Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research

Dr. Yousef Alosairi was interviewed by Kuwait TV channel to speak about the pollution associated to Kuwait Bay, and how to minimize the effects of these pollutants to increase the awareness of the society.

Coastal Management Program (CMP) in Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research (KISR) had the opportunity to host Discovery Channel, who are working on the Al-Shagaya Renewable Energy Project and wanted to highlight KISR as a world class institute. As such, they filmed the CMP facilities in action, generating waves using both the wave basin and the glass flume. The crew members were very impressed and looked forward to potential future projects together.

KISR-01 was redeployed on May 30, 2016. The buoy measures water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll level, water temperature, currents, tides, waves, salinity etc. Moreover, it measures metrological parameters like air temperature, wind speed, humidity, solar radiation and rainfall. The recorded data can be accessed online in our facility without the actual need to be in the field to collect the data.

Dr. Neelamani and our technicians are setting up the wave maker for his physical modeling.
