Derawi Tides

We are building one of the most ambitious environmental and infrastructure projects in the world: a 7-kilometer canal connecting a 2,000 km² depression below sea level in Mauritania to the Atlantic Ocean. This pioneering project will: Generate 3 terawatt-hours of clean, renewable energy annually Sustainably produce over 20,000 tonnes of fish each year Absorb up to 4 million tonnes of CO₂, restoring ecological balance in the region By creating a new inland sea, we aim to transform arid land into a self-sustaining ecosystem that supports energy production, food security, and climate resilience. We are proud to be part of the Founder Institute MENA Cohort (June 2025) and the FasterCapital Acceleration Program, working with global mentors and partners to bring this transformative vision to life. 🌊 Reviving ecosystems. Generating energy. Feeding the future.
