Scientific Stewardship
The Red Sea is a unique biological laboratory. Its high salinity and warm temperatures have created a cradle for evolution. Our center focuses on the non-invasive study of these adaptations.
Through advanced hydroponic systems and precise water chemistry management, we maintain a self-sustaining coral reef that serves as a benchmark for international marine research projects.
Marine Classification
Anthozoa
Researching reef-building corals and their response to changing thermal gradients in the Gulf of Aqaba.
Chondrichthyes
Observation of migratory patterns of Red Sea sharks and rays within protected coastal zones.
Osteichthyes
A comprehensive catalog of over 1,200 bony fish species, including the endemic Arabian Angelfish.
Cheloniidae
Dedicated monitoring programs for Green and Hawksbill turtles nesting along the Tihamah coastline.
Ocean Stratification
Epipelagic Zone (Sunlight)
The most biodiverse layer where photosynthesis supports the coral reef foundations.
Mesopelagic Zone (Twilight)
Home to bioluminescent organisms and the primary layer for the vertical migration of plankton.
Bathypelagic Zone (Midnight)
Constant darkness and high pressure. Our research focuses on the unique physiology of deep-sea fauna.
Milestones of Discovery
Foundation
Establishment of the primary research facility to document the Red Sea's endemic biodiversity.
Coral Lab Launch
Opening of the first successful coral propagation nursery in the region using modular reef technology.
Educational Expansion
Implementation of digital curriculum for schools to foster marine conservation ethics in students.
