Conservation Note
This region faces coral stress from warming seas and tourism—use reef‑safe products, avoid touching marine life, and respect protected area rules to help preserve reefs.
The Red Sea’s reefs formed along a rift system and have supported coastal fishing communities for centuries; Hurghada transformed from a fishing hamlet into a tourism port in the late 20th century.
