In 2005 the Foundation first started mapping offshore reefs in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea. After working years to collect data about the shape, structure, and species that make up these reefs and transform it into detailed reef maps, this year we finally published the first ever atlas of these Red Sea reefs.
We’ve been doing this because understanding the quality and distribution of coral reefs is the starting point for their conservation. Our research in the Red Sea has revealed that these reefs are among the most complex in the world.
