Red Sea Highlights Conservation Before Tourism
On World Environment Day, the importance of the Red Sea as a sensitive and valuable marine environment was emphasized. It represents the fourth largest coral reef system in the world, hosting approximately 6.2% of the global coral reefs along more than 1,800 kilometers of the Saudi coast. The Saudi Red Sea Authority launched the first mechanism for verifying the protection of marine environments in areas of maritime and tourism activities, in collaboration with relevant entities. The goal is to promote environmental sustainability and integrate it into the sector from the very beginning. This initiative aligns with the national strategy to increase protected marine areas from 3% to 30% by 2030, reaffirming that safeguarding the Red Sea is a fundamental condition for sustainable development in the region.
