During the meeting
Sharjah 24: The Sharjah Executive Council (SEC), chaired by Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Crown Prince, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Chairman of the SEC, approved, on Tuesday, the "Genetic Coding Programme" project to classify biodiversity in the Emirate of Sharjah, which is the first of its kind in the region.
This came in the presence of Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Deputy Ruler of Sharjah and Deputy Chairman of the SEC, in a meeting held in the Sharjah Ruler’s Office. 

During its meeting, the SEC discussed a number of government work issues in the Emirate of Sharjah, along with plans and proposals to achieve the Emirate's vision to enhance its leading position in various vital sectors at the local and global levels.


The SEC approved the “Genetic Coding Programme” project for the classification of biodiversity in the Emirate of Sharjah, which is the first of its kind in the region.



The "Genetic Coding Programme" project aims to create a unified database of genetic coding for the types of living organisms, harness laboratories to determine the identity of living organisms at the DNA level, facilitate access to data and make it available to the scientific community and contribute to the development of plans to preserve living organisms. In addition to providing the International Union for Conservation of Nature with information to contribute to evaluation of red lists, and the qualification of national cadres in the field of genetic coding research.



In keeping with the great development in the aviation sector and in conjunction with the growth witnessed in the Emirate of Sharjah, the SEC approved two draft laws reorganising the Department of Civil Aviation and the Sharjah Airport Authority (SAA), and directed to refer the two drafts to the Sharjah Consultative Council (SCC) to complete its legislative session.



The SEC reviewed the response of the Sharjah Districts and Villages Affairs Department (SDVAD) to the recommendations of the SCC, regarding discussing the SDVAD's policy, which comes in the interest of strengthening government work, enhancing cooperation with society and achieving its aspirations in line with the Emirate's vision.
