Egypt's fishing team participated in a training and exploration round in open waters near the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant in Russia, preparing for the 4th international fishing tournament organized by Rosatom. The tournament, which starts tomorrow, brings together 12 countries. The training aimed to familiarize the team with the area, fishing spots, and equipment.
The Egyptian team, led by Abdel Nasser Abdel Latif El-Fardi and Abdel Moneim Abdel Malek El-Fardi, both from Marsa Matruh, continues Egypt's participation in the tournament since its inception. The competition focuses on fishing in coastal areas and open waters, with caught fish subject to weighing and inspection according to tournament rules.
The tournament, held near the Kalinin Nuclear Power Plant in Tver Oblast, Russia, combines fishing with environmental awareness activities, particularly in areas surrounding nuclear facilities. This year's event builds on previous editions, which took place near the Leningrad and Akkuyu nuclear power plants.
The international fishing tournament, initiated by Rosatom in 2019, aims to highlight environmental activities and water resources near nuclear facilities. The event also seeks to promote community engagement and environmental monitoring. Egypt's participation is an extension of its involvement in previous tournaments.
The tournament's rotation between different locations reflects its growing scope and international participation. Previous editions were held in Russia and Turkey, with the next event planned for 2026. Rosatom's efforts focus on demonstrating the company's commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development.
The event coincides with a global push to expand nuclear energy, with many countries pledging support for tripling global nuclear capacity by 2050 at COP28. Rosatom's tournament serves as a platform for promoting environmental awareness and responsible resource management.
As the tournament prepares to start, participants are set to engage in competitive fishing and environmental activities. The event's outcomes are expected to contribute to ongoing discussions on environmental stewardship and sustainable energy development.
