Aqaba Marine Reserve joins UNESCO World Heritage List
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee announced the inclusion of the Aqaba Marine Protected Area in Jordan on the World Heritage List during its 48th session in South Korea. This decision reflects the exceptional value of the ecosystem and marine biodiversity in the Gulf of Aqaba, where the site serves as a sanctuary for pockets of rare and endangered coral reefs, supporting over 150 species of corals, 500 species of fish, and 1,000 species of mollusks. The listing aims to enhance international collaboration for the preservation of this marine ecosystem. Jordan affirms its commitment to sustainable conservation standards and the continued sustainability of the protected area by monitoring water quality and reducing pollution. This effort follows years of national work, supported by the king, to ensure the preservation of biological diversity and protection of the global natural heritage.
