Operation Big Blue Association - OBBA

About us

Operation Big Blue Association (OBBA) is a Lebanese non-governmental organization founded in 1997.

OBBA is a Lebanese environmental, non-governmental organization that seeks to protect, analyze, and monitor the coastal and marine environment against misuse or degradation and actively working on resolving the issues.
Since inception in 1997, OBBA has developed a series of programs that improve the odds of environmental challenges through simple programs such as
• beach cleaning,
• delegate programs such as turtle well-being/fertilization monitoring,
• large-scale mindset programs such as ecological and environmental awareness campaigns, and
• sophisticated self-sustaining programs such as public beach management.

Headquartered in Lebanon, the organization geographically operates nationally and in neighboring countries: Cyprus, Egypt, Palestine, and Syria. Today, with broad support from international organizations, we aim to grow faster in order to cover a wider geographical area on the Mediterranean seas and other oceans.

Iffat Edriss is the President of the Operation Big Blue Association (OBBA).
