Blue Water, Red Sea

Working off the coast of Saudi Arabia, a WHOI-led research team has been surveying and cataloging the largely unstudied coral reefs of the Red Sea. WHOI recently joined a partnership with the King Abdullah University of Science and Technology to study the reefs, mangroves, fisheries, and water circulation of the Red Sea and its coast, while also assisting in the development of the academic and research potential of the new marine science center.
