Mission CoRI is concerned with research and investigation activities to protect and to develop the coastal zones of Egypt through the following objectives:

1. Monitoring the evolution of the Mediterranean coast in order to determine the near shore zone changes of the Nile delta and its neighborhood.
2. Collecting and analyzing Dynamical, coastal and marine data for the determination of the erosion and accretion pattern and their driving forces.
3. Conducting numerical models to predict future changes in the coastal zone, and select the most economical and effective protective measures and to find out their best alignment.
4. Studying and design the most efficient, low cost and high effective control works to protect the heavily populated areas with its valuable agricultural land, industrial establishments and infrastructure from the sea attacks and carrying out their EIA.
