Saudi Initiatives to Safeguard Sea Turtles
The article discusses Saudi Arabia's efforts to protect sea turtles and preserve their natural habitats along the Red Sea coast. The General Authority for the Preservation of Coral Reefs and Sea Turtles has launched comprehensive initiatives that include rescue, treatment, and habitat conservation. The first specialized sea turtle treatment center in the Middle East has been established, along with the development of unique therapeutic techniques recognized globally. Moreover, a response network has been activated to address stranding cases, having handled over 300 turtles since 2024. Additionally, a survey was conducted across more than 2,200 beaches to identify nesting sites, resulting in the pinpointing of 638 locations, including 23 key sites that account for approximately 70% of nesting activities within a coastal stretch of around 40 kilometers. These efforts are part of an accredited environmental management plan aimed at enhancing biodiversity sustainability and protecting marine life.
