Our Coral Commitment

Protecting and regenerating Red Sea corals

a fascinating underwater ecosystem

Red Sea corals act as a buffer against climate change

Northern Red Sea corals possess a remarkable trait: they are more heat tolerant than corals across most of the world.

 

'Super corals' in the northern Red Sea could be key to understanding and potentially restoring coral reefs globally, which are increasingly threatened by marine heatwaves.

 

Research from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) reveals that these corals have not experienced significant bleaching mortality despite high temperatures.

Understanding coral stress: A snapshot

Heat Threat

Rising sea temperatures stress algae, which are then unable to produce toxic chemicals

Possible Recovery

Bleached coral can recover if water temperature cools and algae return

Coral Bleaching

To survive, corals expel stressed algae, losing color and energy source

Coral Death

If sea temperature remains warm for too long, the algae may not return and corals will die

Restoration and Regeneration

Red Sea Global is taking a definitive stand for marine conservation with our Coral Commitment. In partnership with the Coral Research & Development Accelerator Platform (CORDAP), we are embarking on a multifaceted program to both protect and regenerate these precious underwater habitats.

 

This commitment is showcased through the groundbreaking results of our Coral Gardening Pilot Program’s first phase and the strategic rebranding of the Marine Life Institute at AMAALA to Corallium. 

Leading the way in coral protection

The 1.2km Shurayrah Bridge shows our conscientious approach to development at our destinations.

 

The crossing was crafted with a graceful curve, rather than a simple straight-line design, to minimize impact on coral formations.
