Saudi Red Sea Science Lab
The Kingdom is working to transform the Red Sea, which spans approximately 186,000 square kilometers, into a hub for marine research and planning. One study produced high-resolution data on the seabed, drawing on surveys covering 860 kilometers, while the “Journey of the Decade” mapped around 62,758 square kilometers and recorded four coral species never before documented anywhere in the world. Surveys also identified more than 20 blue holes off the southern coast, while reef programs documented 251 species, including 25 endemic species and 54 threatened with extinction. This data supports biodiversity protection, habitat restoration and the development of the blue economy, as part of a strategy to increase the share of protected marine and coastal areas from 3% to 30% by 2030.
