The day to day work demonstrates outstanding 

cooperation with Local Administration Units and 

agencies due to the full support of the governor to 

environment protection activities. Fine cooperation 

with Tourism Development Organization, Facilities 

and Environment Police and private sector has also 

been established. Frequently, cooperation with 

Borders Guards has shown improvement but is still 

area that needs enhancement. Coordination with the 

fishery organization is facing a great deal of 

inconsistency. In our judgment, this could be due to a 

conflict of interest between the two agencies and 

limited awareness of the role of environmental 

complications as well as unclear understanding of 

Law 4.         

The major obstacles faced by the southern section s 

rangers could be summarized in the following: 

   Lack of approved appropriate organizational 

structure for the Unit. 

    Limited number of qualified rangers and support 

staff. 

   Inappropriate legal contractual arrangements of 

the rangers, which impeded granting power to 

effect seizures in respect to environment law 

4/1994 

   Uncertain job sustainability and unattractive 

career path.
