[00:02:11] When I heard about this
[00:13:10] continue with you from the kitchen, and to many segments
[00:13:13] we present to you every morning, and to our correspondents
[00:13:17] located in various places in the Sultanate of Oman, in
[00:13:20] various states and governorates of the Sultanate, to bring
[00:13:24] us the most important events and activities. The mollusk
[00:13:27] farming project in Wilayat Masirah, viewers,
[00:13:31] in the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate, is a promising
[00:13:35] model for sustainable marine farming in the Sultanate
[00:13:39] of Oman, through the utilization of modern
[00:13:42] marine production and also enhancing food security
[00:13:46] and also benefiting from the natural components of the marine environment
[00:13:49] in a way that supports the growth of the blue economy and also opens
[00:13:53] new horizons for investment in the
[00:13:57] commercial sector.
[00:14:00] details with us. Our correspondent, Yaqoob bin Yusuf
[00:14:04] Al Balushi, who will tell us more about that. Yaqoob, good morning
[00:14:08] to you from Morning Coffee. What
[00:14:11] this topic, and what are the more details and more information?
[00:14:15] Please, the floor is
[00:14:16] yours.
[00:14:20] Greetings to you, Shaima, and greetings to Amal, and greetings to all
[00:14:22] the followers from here, from
[00:14:26] Masirah Island, sorry, which witnessed, or
[00:14:29] witnessed in January 2025, the operation,
[00:14:32] or the first operation, of the oyster breeding,
[00:14:36] or oyster farming project here on the island,
[00:14:40] which is hoped to be expanded later
[00:14:43] to target larger
[00:14:46] areas and larger production to cover the local
[00:14:49] market, as well as the foreign
[00:14:52] market. The area where we are located
[00:14:55] is about 25 km from the center of Masirah
[00:14:59] city or wilayat, to the southwest, where
[00:15:02] the area and coasts are suitable for oyster
[00:15:06] farming here and its propagation.
[00:15:09] For more details about the importance of the project from an economic
[00:15:12] perspective, Shaima, we are pleased in these
[00:15:15] minutes to host Salman bin Hamad
[00:15:18] Al Farsi, who is a member of the Board of Directors of the Omani
[00:15:22] Fishermen's Association. Salman, welcome. After
[00:15:25] the welcome, immediately inform the viewers about
[00:15:27] the importance and economic
[00:15:30] value of the oyster farming project here in
[00:15:34] Masirah Island. And peace be upon you. Of course, when we talk
[00:15:38] today about aquaculture, it is one of the promising
[00:15:41] paths to enhance food security, diversify sources
[00:15:46] opportunities, as well as attract foreign investments
[00:15:50] in light of the long coastlines and promising
[00:15:53] marine resources that the Sultanate possesses.
[00:15:56] Of course, aquaculture will create many opportunities today
[00:16:00] in the field of work. Wilayat Masirah possesses, thank God, marine
[00:16:03] resources due to its historical connection and fisheries.
[00:16:07] Full reliance on the income source of fisheries. Of course, today we will discuss
[00:16:11] the importance of the blue
[00:16:15] economy as a diversification of the blue economy, and it is one
[00:16:18] of the paths of aquaculture in Wilayat
[00:16:20] Masirah. It is considered promising
[00:16:24] for young people and small and medium-sized
[00:16:27] enterprises.
[00:16:29] The size of future investments, God willing. Today, as we saw, the project
[00:16:32] is under trial, and the project
[00:16:36] has proven its success. This will, God willing, provide
[00:16:39] more promising studies for future projects in aquaculture
[00:16:42] in Wilayat Masirah, and it also encourages young
[00:16:45] people to focus from today
[00:16:47] on training. Such projects
[00:16:50] المشاريع
[00:16:52] and what these projects need in terms of jobs, young people should turn
[00:16:55] to training or studying. It is also an encouragement
[00:16:59] to establish small and medium-sized enterprises to work in the field
[00:17:02] of manufacturing. The blue economy chain is, of course, long. When
[00:17:06] we talk about an aquaculture project, it includes
[00:17:10] collection, sorting,
[00:17:13] freezing, packaging, and export. So the project, as a supply
[00:17:16] chain, is large, and at the same time, it is not considered
[00:17:20] an alternative to traditional fishing, but rather complementary to traditional fishing.
[00:17:24] Yes, your projects
[00:17:27] will naturally benefit the chain of beneficiaries
[00:17:30] you mentioned. A large system of refrigeration, storage,
[00:17:33] processing, and so on. Its importance for the island.
[00:17:38] And also the possibility of entering into other similar projects
[00:17:41] for investment here, given the suitable
[00:17:44] climate, the suitable environment also for these
[00:17:48] types of projects. As for
[00:17:51] Masirah Island, of course, we have the eastern side, which overlooks the Arabian Sea
[00:17:55] directly, and we have the western side, which is currently being invested in
[00:17:58] the rock oyster project. This western
[00:18:01] environment is very suitable for such
[00:18:04] projects. Aquaculture projects are also considered. Across the Sultanate's
[00:18:08] shores, the pollution rate is almost
[00:18:12] nonexistent. So the shores, the waters are very
[00:18:16] clean. So today, God willing,
[00:18:18] we hope that young people will turn to the topic of aquaculture
[00:18:22] of all kinds, whether as fish or
[00:18:25] shellfish or other mollusks.
[00:18:29] The most important starting point is the direction. What do these
[00:18:32] projects need in terms of jobs? Here, young people must turn
[00:18:36] to this channel: studying and training.
[00:18:39] And today, thank God, the government is open to them. And we have
[00:18:43] the sectoral skills unit in the fisheries sector. These
[00:18:47] will also qualify young people, so that through coordination
[00:18:51] between the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Agricultural and Fisheries Wealth, young people can be qualified
[00:18:54] to open such projects, even if they are small. Today, we don't want large,
[00:18:58] huge projects that will monopolize
[00:19:02] all activities. Rather, we want projects that are sequential,
[00:19:05] forming a chain so that everyone benefits.
[00:19:07] I have companies or projects or institutions that will work in aquaculture.
[00:19:11] I am supposed to have other institutions specialized in sorting,
[00:19:15] marketing, storage, and so on. So here,
[00:19:19] I will have a real chain and added value for the wilayat itself and for the people
[00:19:23] of the wilayat. This is what we hope for, God willing. And the economic
[00:19:26] advantage of the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate is the blue economy,
[00:19:30] and this is one of the blue economy projects that we hope, God willing,
[00:19:35] the future. And as I mentioned,
[00:19:37] it will not be an alternative to traditional fishing, but rather complementary to traditional fishing.
[00:19:41] Congratulations to the island. Congratulations to Oman for these projects,
[00:19:45] this project, and also future projects, and it is certainly
[00:19:48] an addition to building a diversified
[00:19:50] economy that focuses especially on the relative values
[00:19:54] that characterize the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate, which
[00:19:58] is known as the blue economy. Thank you, and we wish you success. Thank
[00:20:01] you. May God reward you with good. I have a final addition. We also hope
[00:20:05] for a move in the same
[00:20:07] direction, which is the blue economy, what is called blue tourism. Today,
[00:20:11] blue tourism is underdeveloped in Wilayat Masirah. We have a pristine environment,
[00:20:15] meaning we have beaches, we have coral reefs. So the blue economy also
[00:20:19] includes blue tourism. So there are many
[00:20:22] promising projects. We
[00:20:25] young people. They should not wait to get
[00:20:28] a job. No, seize the opportunity that exists today, and thank God
[00:20:32] the government is enabling any young person who wants
[00:20:35] to work. The government, thank God, has enabled us. May God reward
[00:20:39] you with good. Thank you, Salman. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you. So,
[00:20:43] viewers, this was a stop with the mollusk
[00:20:46] farming project here on the island.
[00:20:50] We would just like to note that the project started in January 2025
[00:20:54] with two hectares of cultivated area, consisting of six
[00:20:57] lines with 3600 boxes
[00:21:00] for mollusk cultivation, with sizes starting from
[00:21:04] three to four grams,
[00:21:07] then reaching within eight to ten
[00:21:11] months, approximately or more than
[00:21:14] 200 grams per mollusk.
[00:21:18] This contributes
[00:21:22] project due to the high reproduction
[00:21:26] rate or rapid growth of the mollusks and their reach to commercial quantities
[00:21:30] in these target
[00:21:33] waters. Shaima, there is
[00:21:36] an expansion of the project to reach a cultivated
[00:21:40] area of, or the experimental farm, sorry,
[00:21:43] to 20 hectares by the year
[00:21:47] 2028, and then another phase to 40
[00:21:50] hectares in the coming time, Shaima.
[00:21:54] Yes, Yaqoob Al Balushi, thank you very
[00:21:57] much for your presence in, of course,
[00:22:01] and for talking about this project, which undoubtedly
[00:22:05] opens horizons for young people, for employment, and for investment,
[00:22:08] and for greater growth of the blue economy. Thank you and thank
[00:22:11] all our correspondents who are present in various states
[00:22:15] and governorates of the Sultanate to bring you the most important events,
[00:22:18] activities, and projects that concern Omani society in a bigger
[00:22:22] way. Shaima, we are used to having
[00:22:24] a special segment for the hearing
[00:22:28] impaired on Mondays. This time we will talk about
[00:22:32] the skills that job seekers from this group
[00:22:35] can develop.
[00:22:38] colleagues Sultan Al Amri and Shaima
[00:22:41] Al Hussaini, but a short break and then we'll be back. Stay
[00:22:45] with us.
[00:24:59] Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Good morning
[00:25:03] to everyone.
[00:25:06] World Mental Health
[00:25:09] Day and the importance of awareness
[00:25:12] about this topic and solving all the challenges
[00:25:16] we face. Welcome, Sultan. Welcome.
[00:25:18] And peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Welcome to this
[00:25:22] segment that we continue. Uh,
[00:25:26] today, our topic is
[00:25:29] about, God willing, of course, God willing, in the coming days there will be
[00:25:32] rain, and according to the meteorological
[00:25:36] department, everyone must be careful and cautious
[00:25:39] and protect their family and everything that concerns
[00:25:43] them, of course,
[00:25:46] Monday, you attended an event
[00:25:49] in North Al Sharqiyah. I mean, mashallah, the governorates'
[00:25:53] interest in spreading awareness about the importance
[00:25:56] of communicating with deaf people. Tell us about that event. Yes, of course.
[00:26:00] Of course, I am very proud of the
[00:26:03] North Al Sharqiyah Governorate
[00:26:06] for inviting me to the International Day of Sign
[00:26:09] Language. It was in the North Al Sharqiyah
[00:26:12] Governorate. Of course, there were a number of
[00:26:17] questions.
[00:26:19] But this was about
[00:26:22] communication. So we started
[00:26:26] by setting the slogan and then we started
[00:26:29] the model in Al Dhahirah Governorate. The model was
[00:26:33] the festival.
[00:26:35] The participation of people with disabilities in the Al Dhahirah Governorate festival.
[00:26:38] And now there is enthusiasm and activities for
[00:26:42] this group also in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate. God willing, we hope that this awareness
[00:26:45] will continue in all future
[00:26:47] governorates. Please, Sultan. Thank you very much, Shaima. I
[00:26:51] am very happy with my guests today.
[00:26:54] First, the topic we will talk about is congratulating
[00:26:57] the 50 students
[00:27:00] participating in
[00:27:02] the "Sharah" program who continued their training for six
[00:27:06] months and also developed, thank God,
[00:27:09] to enter the job market after
[00:27:11] graduating.
[00:27:14] This program was supported by BP Oman
[00:27:18] or this project or the second program for people with hearing
[00:27:21] impairment. With us is
[00:27:24] Ms. Ohood bint Jameel Al Saadi. Welcome,
[00:27:28] and I am happy today to be invited
[00:27:31] and hosted in the morning session program. Thank you to Sultan
[00:27:35] Al Amri and Shaima, and I am happy
[00:27:38] day. Yes.
[00:27:40] Also, Ohood, regarding
[00:27:44] your graduation from the Scientific College of Design,
[00:27:47] and now you have started registering for the "Sharah" program.
[00:27:50] Mashallah, you are amazing. My question to you is about the "Sharah"
[00:27:54] program, specifically
[00:27:57] the goal that you
[00:28:00] for, or the content of the program. Also, my
[00:28:04] entry into the "Sharah" program was to develop the skills
[00:28:07] of job seekers. Thank God, we have
[00:28:10] graduated from it.
[00:28:13] program, I felt that it was very important for me to embark
[00:28:17] on this wonderful experience because it teaches
[00:28:20] fundamental subjects in Arabic language, computer
[00:28:23] science, English, and also the recreational
[00:28:26] and cultural activities that the program offers. What
[00:28:28] is your goal? Certainly, this program's
[00:28:32] goal is to search for work and also to develop our skills
[00:28:36] in the job market. Yes, mashallah, this is very important: how
[00:28:40] we can employ our abilities in the job market. May God
[00:28:43] grant you all success, and certainly, God willing, you will find job
[00:28:47] opportunities after the program. Welcome, Ahmed. Welcome, Ms. Shaima.
[00:28:51] May God give you health and well-being. Thank you for inviting us and also for this beautiful
[00:28:54] meeting. And I thank everyone.
[00:28:57] We congratulate you on your graduation from the training
[00:29:00] program. My question
[00:29:02] to Ahmed is about your initial registration in the
[00:29:06] "Sharah" program, and since you are a resident of Al Rustaq
[00:29:09] Wilayat, it might have been a long distance to
[00:29:13] attend the training program.
[00:29:17] Tell us how this program was, how
[00:29:20] program, thank God, I was in Al Rustaq,
[00:29:24] indeed a distance, but for me, I was
[00:29:28] hesitant to join this program, but thank God, I was advised
[00:29:33] program so that I can benefit and have an
[00:29:36] experience in succeeding in this program, God willing,
[00:29:40] and be able to achieve my goals. Thank
[00:29:43] God, mashallah, also for your achievement and confidence,
[00:29:47] which certainly developed during the program, by the grace
[00:29:50] of God. Yes, Ohood,
[00:29:53] yes.
[00:29:56] The "Sharah" program, of course, the Communication
[00:30:00] program. During the six months that
[00:30:04] you studied, what
[00:30:07] services were provided to you during the training
[00:30:10] period? Certainly,
[00:30:13] were provided, advice, consultations,
[00:30:17] and also the provision of sign language
[00:30:21] interpreters so that we can
[00:30:23] communicate with any work we want
[00:30:27] to present. Coordination also for some programs
[00:30:30] and job interviews. These services
[00:30:33] are excellent. I am very happy that there will be no
[00:30:36] interruption. The training period is not only that, but it extends
[00:30:40] beyond the training in providing services to people with hearing
[00:30:43] impairment. Calls, translation,
[00:30:46] and importantly, that we reach the goal we strive for through
[00:30:49] this program, God willing. Shaima,
[00:30:52] excellent. My question to Ahmed during
[00:30:56] the "Sharah" training program for developing the skills of job seekers.
