00:02:11When I heard about this
00:13:10continue with you from the kitchen, and to many segments
00:13:13we present to you every morning, and to our correspondents
00:13:17located in various places in the Sultanate of Oman, in
00:13:20various states and governorates of the Sultanate, to bring
00:13:24us the most important events and activities. The mollusk
00:13:27farming project in Wilayat Masirah, viewers,
00:13:31in the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate, is a promising
00:13:35model for sustainable marine farming in the Sultanate
00:13:39of Oman, through the utilization of modern
00:13:42marine production and also enhancing food security
00:13:46and also benefiting from the natural components of the marine environment
00:13:49in a way that supports the growth of the blue economy and also opens
00:13:53new horizons for investment in the
00:13:57commercial sector.
00:14:00details with us. Our correspondent, Yaqoob bin Yusuf
00:14:04Al Balushi, who will tell us more about that. Yaqoob, good morning
00:14:08to you from Morning Coffee. What
00:14:11this topic, and what are the more details and more information?
00:14:15Please, the floor is
00:14:16yours.
00:14:20Greetings to you, Shaima, and greetings to Amal, and greetings to all
00:14:22the followers from here, from
00:14:26Masirah Island, sorry, which witnessed, or
00:14:29witnessed in January 2025, the operation,
00:14:32or the first operation, of the oyster breeding,
00:14:36or oyster farming project here on the island,
00:14:40which is hoped to be expanded later
00:14:43to target larger
00:14:46areas and larger production to cover the local
00:14:49market, as well as the foreign
00:14:52market. The area where we are located
00:14:55is about 25 km from the center of Masirah
00:14:59city or wilayat, to the southwest, where
00:15:02the area and coasts are suitable for oyster
00:15:06farming here and its propagation.
00:15:09For more details about the importance of the project from an economic
00:15:12perspective, Shaima, we are pleased in these
00:15:15minutes to host Salman bin Hamad
00:15:18Al Farsi, who is a member of the Board of Directors of the Omani
00:15:22Fishermen's Association. Salman, welcome. After
00:15:25the welcome, immediately inform the viewers about
00:15:27the importance and economic
00:15:30value of the oyster farming project here in
00:15:34Masirah Island. And peace be upon you. Of course, when we talk
00:15:38today about aquaculture, it is one of the promising
00:15:41paths to enhance food security, diversify sources
00:15:46opportunities, as well as attract foreign investments
00:15:50in light of the long coastlines and promising
00:15:53marine resources that the Sultanate possesses.
00:15:56Of course, aquaculture will create many opportunities today
00:16:00in the field of work. Wilayat Masirah possesses, thank God, marine
00:16:03resources due to its historical connection and fisheries.
00:16:07Full reliance on the income source of fisheries. Of course, today we will discuss
00:16:11the importance of the blue
00:16:15economy as a diversification of the blue economy, and it is one
00:16:18of the paths of aquaculture in Wilayat
00:16:20Masirah. It is considered promising
00:16:24for young people and small and medium-sized
00:16:27enterprises.
00:16:29The size of future investments, God willing. Today, as we saw, the project
00:16:32is under trial, and the project
00:16:36has proven its success. This will, God willing, provide
00:16:39more promising studies for future projects in aquaculture
00:16:42in Wilayat Masirah, and it also encourages young
00:16:45people to focus from today
00:16:47on training. Such projects
00:16:50المشاريع
00:16:52and what these projects need in terms of jobs, young people should turn
00:16:55to training or studying. It is also an encouragement
00:16:59to establish small and medium-sized enterprises to work in the field
00:17:02of manufacturing. The blue economy chain is, of course, long. When
00:17:06we talk about an aquaculture project, it includes
00:17:10collection, sorting,
00:17:13freezing, packaging, and export. So the project, as a supply
00:17:16chain, is large, and at the same time, it is not considered
00:17:20an alternative to traditional fishing, but rather complementary to traditional fishing.
00:17:24Yes, your projects
00:17:27will naturally benefit the chain of beneficiaries
00:17:30you mentioned. A large system of refrigeration, storage,
00:17:33processing, and so on. Its importance for the island.
00:17:38And also the possibility of entering into other similar projects
00:17:41for investment here, given the suitable
00:17:44climate, the suitable environment also for these
00:17:48types of projects. As for
00:17:51Masirah Island, of course, we have the eastern side, which overlooks the Arabian Sea
00:17:55directly, and we have the western side, which is currently being invested in
00:17:58the rock oyster project. This western
00:18:01environment is very suitable for such
00:18:04projects. Aquaculture projects are also considered. Across the Sultanate's
00:18:08shores, the pollution rate is almost
00:18:12nonexistent. So the shores, the waters are very
00:18:16clean. So today, God willing,
00:18:18we hope that young people will turn to the topic of aquaculture
00:18:22of all kinds, whether as fish or
00:18:25shellfish or other mollusks.
00:18:29The most important starting point is the direction. What do these
00:18:32projects need in terms of jobs? Here, young people must turn
00:18:36to this channel: studying and training.
00:18:39And today, thank God, the government is open to them. And we have
00:18:43the sectoral skills unit in the fisheries sector. These
00:18:47will also qualify young people, so that through coordination
00:18:51between the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Agricultural and Fisheries Wealth, young people can be qualified
00:18:54to open such projects, even if they are small. Today, we don't want large,
00:18:58huge projects that will monopolize
00:19:02all activities. Rather, we want projects that are sequential,
00:19:05forming a chain so that everyone benefits.
00:19:07I have companies or projects or institutions that will work in aquaculture.
00:19:11I am supposed to have other institutions specialized in sorting,
00:19:15marketing, storage, and so on. So here,
00:19:19I will have a real chain and added value for the wilayat itself and for the people
00:19:23of the wilayat. This is what we hope for, God willing. And the economic
00:19:26advantage of the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate is the blue economy,
00:19:30and this is one of the blue economy projects that we hope, God willing,
00:19:35the future. And as I mentioned,
00:19:37it will not be an alternative to traditional fishing, but rather complementary to traditional fishing.
00:19:41Congratulations to the island. Congratulations to Oman for these projects,
00:19:45this project, and also future projects, and it is certainly
00:19:48an addition to building a diversified
00:19:50economy that focuses especially on the relative values
00:19:54that characterize the South Al Sharqiyah Governorate, which
00:19:58is known as the blue economy. Thank you, and we wish you success. Thank
00:20:01you. May God reward you with good. I have a final addition. We also hope
00:20:05for a move in the same
00:20:07direction, which is the blue economy, what is called blue tourism. Today,
00:20:11blue tourism is underdeveloped in Wilayat Masirah. We have a pristine environment,
00:20:15meaning we have beaches, we have coral reefs. So the blue economy also
00:20:19includes blue tourism. So there are many
00:20:22promising projects. We
00:20:25young people. They should not wait to get
00:20:28a job. No, seize the opportunity that exists today, and thank God
00:20:32the government is enabling any young person who wants
00:20:35to work. The government, thank God, has enabled us. May God reward
00:20:39you with good. Thank you, Salman. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Thank you. So,
00:20:43viewers, this was a stop with the mollusk
00:20:46farming project here on the island.
00:20:50We would just like to note that the project started in January 2025
00:20:54with two hectares of cultivated area, consisting of six
00:20:57lines with 3600 boxes
00:21:00for mollusk cultivation, with sizes starting from
00:21:04three to four grams,
00:21:07then reaching within eight to ten
00:21:11months, approximately or more than
00:21:14200 grams per mollusk.
00:21:18This contributes
00:21:22project due to the high reproduction
00:21:26rate or rapid growth of the mollusks and their reach to commercial quantities
00:21:30in these target
00:21:33waters. Shaima, there is
00:21:36an expansion of the project to reach a cultivated
00:21:40area of, or the experimental farm, sorry,
00:21:43to 20 hectares by the year
00:21:472028, and then another phase to 40
00:21:50hectares in the coming time, Shaima.
00:21:54Yes, Yaqoob Al Balushi, thank you very
00:21:57much for your presence in, of course,
00:22:01and for talking about this project, which undoubtedly
00:22:05opens horizons for young people, for employment, and for investment,
00:22:08and for greater growth of the blue economy. Thank you and thank
00:22:11all our correspondents who are present in various states
00:22:15and governorates of the Sultanate to bring you the most important events,
00:22:18activities, and projects that concern Omani society in a bigger
00:22:22way. Shaima, we are used to having
00:22:24a special segment for the hearing
00:22:28impaired on Mondays. This time we will talk about
00:22:32the skills that job seekers from this group
00:22:35can develop.
00:22:38colleagues Sultan Al Amri and Shaima
00:22:41Al Hussaini, but a short break and then we'll be back. Stay
00:22:45with us.
00:24:59Peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Good morning
00:25:03to everyone.

00:25:12about this topic and solving all the challenges
00:25:16we face. Welcome, Sultan. Welcome.
00:25:18And peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you. Welcome to this
00:25:22segment that we continue. Uh,
00:25:26today, our topic is

00:25:36department, everyone must be careful and cautious
00:25:39and protect their family and everything that concerns
00:25:43them, of course,
00:25:46Monday, you attended an event
00:25:49in North Al Sharqiyah. I mean, mashallah, the governorates'
00:25:53interest in spreading awareness about the importance
00:25:56of communicating with deaf people. Tell us about that event. Yes, of course.
00:26:00Of course, I am very proud of the
00:26:03North Al Sharqiyah Governorate
00:26:06for inviting me to the International Day of Sign
00:26:09Language. It was in the North Al Sharqiyah
00:26:12Governorate. Of course, there were a number of
00:26:17questions.
00:26:19But this was about
00:26:22communication. So we started
00:26:26by setting the slogan and then we started
00:26:29the model in Al Dhahirah Governorate. The model was
00:26:33the festival.
00:26:35The participation of people with disabilities in the Al Dhahirah Governorate festival.
00:26:38And now there is enthusiasm and activities for
00:26:42this group also in North Al Sharqiyah Governorate. God willing, we hope that this awareness
00:26:45will continue in all future
00:26:47governorates. Please, Sultan. Thank you very much, Shaima. I
00:26:51am very happy with my guests today.
00:26:54First, the topic we will talk about is congratulating
00:26:57the 50 students
00:27:00participating in
00:27:02the "Sharah" program who continued their training for six
00:27:06months and also developed, thank God,
00:27:09to enter the job market after
00:27:11graduating.
00:27:14This program was supported by BP Oman
00:27:18or this project or the second program for people with hearing
00:27:21impairment. With us is
00:27:24Ms. Ohood bint Jameel Al Saadi. Welcome,
00:27:28and I am happy today to be invited
00:27:31and hosted in the morning session program. Thank you to Sultan
00:27:35Al Amri and Shaima, and I am happy
00:27:38day. Yes.
00:27:40Also, Ohood, regarding
00:27:44your graduation from the Scientific College of Design,
00:27:47and now you have started registering for the "Sharah" program.
00:27:50Mashallah, you are amazing. My question to you is about the "Sharah"
00:27:54program, specifically
00:27:57the goal that you
00:28:00for, or the content of the program. Also, my
00:28:04entry into the "Sharah" program was to develop the skills
00:28:07of job seekers. Thank God, we have
00:28:10graduated from it.
00:28:13program, I felt that it was very important for me to embark
00:28:17on this wonderful experience because it teaches
00:28:20fundamental subjects in Arabic language, computer
00:28:23science, English, and also the recreational
00:28:26and cultural activities that the program offers. What
00:28:28is your goal? Certainly, this program's
00:28:32goal is to search for work and also to develop our skills
00:28:36in the job market. Yes, mashallah, this is very important: how
00:28:40we can employ our abilities in the job market. May God
00:28:43grant you all success, and certainly, God willing, you will find job
00:28:47opportunities after the program. Welcome, Ahmed. Welcome, Ms. Shaima.
00:28:51May God give you health and well-being. Thank you for inviting us and also for this beautiful
00:28:54meeting. And I thank everyone.
00:28:57We congratulate you on your graduation from the training
00:29:00program. My question
00:29:02to Ahmed is about your initial registration in the
00:29:06"Sharah" program, and since you are a resident of Al Rustaq
00:29:09Wilayat, it might have been a long distance to
00:29:13attend the training program.
00:29:17Tell us how this program was, how
00:29:20program, thank God, I was in Al Rustaq,
00:29:24indeed a distance, but for me, I was
00:29:28hesitant to join this program, but thank God, I was advised
00:29:33program so that I can benefit and have an
00:29:36experience in succeeding in this program, God willing,
00:29:40and be able to achieve my goals. Thank
00:29:43God, mashallah, also for your achievement and confidence,
00:29:47which certainly developed during the program, by the grace
00:29:50of God. Yes, Ohood,
00:29:53yes.
00:29:56The "Sharah" program, of course, the Communication
00:30:00program. During the six months that
00:30:04you studied, what
00:30:07services were provided to you during the training
00:30:10period? Certainly,
00:30:13were provided, advice, consultations,
00:30:17and also the provision of sign language
00:30:21interpreters so that we can
00:30:23communicate with any work we want
00:30:27to present. Coordination also for some programs
00:30:30and job interviews. These services
00:30:33are excellent. I am very happy that there will be no
00:30:36interruption. The training period is not only that, but it extends
00:30:40beyond the training in providing services to people with hearing
00:30:43impairment. Calls, translation,
00:30:46and importantly, that we reach the goal we strive for through
00:30:49this program, God willing. Shaima,
00:30:52excellent. My question to Ahmed during
00:30:56the "Sharah" training program for developing the skills of job seekers.
