he Red Sea is an important international water body that separates the north-eastern Africa from the Arabian Peninsula. It has since ancient times been a source of food for the coastal population and a maritime, trading, and cultural route. The Red Sea in general comprises the most unique coastal and marine environments. It is one of the most important repositories of biodiversity in the world. Its relative isolation and varying physical conditions have given rise to an extraordinary range of ecosystems and biological diversity. The most notable features of the sea are complex coral reefs systems and their associated fauna and flora including several important endangered species (e.g. sea grass beds, salt pans, mangroves and salt marches).
