These members were previously active but have not had a Green Fins assessment or self-evaluation to verify their environmental impact in the last 12 months. An inactive status does not mean they are not operational or that they are not following environmental standards.

The Green Fins JORDAN Team 🇯🇴

Green Fins Jordan Team jumping with joy on graduation day.

The Green Fins approach in Aqaba, Jordan, is spearheaded by the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) and made possible with the “Employment-oriented MSME Promotion” project, implemented by GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Programme scoping in 2023 was quickly followed by the training of Jordan’s first team of assessors. The team brings together a range of skillsets from the Aqaba Navy, Marine Reserve and the University of Ecology.

Voices from the network

I work in the Navy, so I’ve always learned to tell people to do something, and they’ll do them. Green Fins has helped me realise how to get people to really change their behaviour, not just follow orders. I explain the how and why and let them see how their actions will help the environment. That feels really good!
