Marine litter in the Red Sea: Status and policy implications

Anna Diem et al.

Summary: This study examines marine litter in the Red Sea, finding that it is abundant and driven by recreational activity, fishing, and shipping. The COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the situation due to improper disposal of PPE. Regional and national frameworks, as well as NGO initiatives, have been established to address the issue.

Diversity and characteristics of commercial Red Sea fish species based on fish market survey: informing management to reduce the risk of overfishing

Yassein A. Osman et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the diversity and characteristics of commercial Red Sea fish species landed in the Egyptian coast through surveys conducted at the largest local fish market. The results show the most abundant fish families, such as Serranidae, Lethrinidae, and Scaridae, and highlight the importance of Carangidae in terms of biomass. The study also reveals the significant contribution of Serranidae, Lethrinidae, Scaridae, and Lutjanidae families to the revenue, as well as the seasonal variation in fish prices.

Deoxygenation turns the coastal Red Sea lagoons into sources of nitrous oxide

Mohammed I. Orif et al.

Summary: Direct measurements in Al-Shabab and Al-Arbaeen lagoons along the Red Sea coast indicate these lagoons as significant sources of N2O to the atmosphere. The accumulation of N2O is caused by nitrifier-denitrification in oxygen-depleted bottom waters. The ongoing developmental activities may worsen hypoxia and associated biogeochemical feedbacks, emphasizing the need for continuous monitoring of the lagoons.

Mangrove reforestation provides greater blue carbon benefit than afforestation for mitigating global climate change

Shanshan Song et al.

Summary: Blue carbon benefit has not been compared between mangrove reforestation and afforestation pathways at the global scale. This study shows that mangrove reforestation has a greater carbon storage potential per hectare than afforestation, mainly due to favorable intertidal positioning, higher nitrogen availability, and lower salinity. Reforestation of deforested mangrove regions worldwide could lead to a global uptake of 671.5-688.8 Tg CO2-eq over a 40-year period, 60% more than afforesting the same global area on marginal tidal flats.

Multiscale hydrodynamics modeling reveals the temperature moderating role of the Northern Red Sea Islands

Ahmed Eladawy et al.

Summary: This study used the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) to simulate the hydrodynamics of the Red Sea and validated the model results using remotely sensed sea surface temperature data. The study revealed that the relatively warmer water in the southern parts of the Red Sea originated from the eastern boundary current, but the northern islands acted as barriers with unique thermal moderating mechanisms. Additionally, the study introduced a new approach of applying higher-resolution models to accurately represent the spatial and temporal variations of thermal indices. In conclusion, multiscale modeling provides a valuable method for assessing precious marine ecosystems.

Mangrove distribution and afforestation potential in the Red Sea

Javier Blanco-Sacristan et al.

Summary: Mangrove ecosystems in the Red Sea have high efficiency in carbon fixation and storage, as well as providing other co-benefits. Assessment of mangrove extent in the Red Sea using satellite data and exploring the effect of spatial resolution on mapping accuracy were conducted. The distribution of Red Sea mangroves and potential areas for afforestation were mapped using a maximum entropy modeling approach. The carbon sequestration rates were estimated based on a meta-analysis of available literature. Results show a positive trend in mangrove growth and provide upper bounds on carbon sequestration potential for Red Sea mangroves.

Summary: Anthropogenic disturbances are posing unprecedented challenges to ecosystems worldwide. This study focuses on coral reefs as a case example and finds that the projected effects of various disturbances are being underestimated when analyzed independently. Combining these disturbances reduces the timeframe of environmental suitability for coral reefs, even under optimistic scenarios. The urgency to address human disturbances is highlighted by the severe prognosis for coral reefs.

Effect of dust on rainfall over the Red Sea coast based on WRF-Chem model simulations

Sagar P. Parajuli et al.

Summary: Water is essential for life and the distribution of rainfall is influenced by atmospheric aerosol. Dust can both suppress and enhance rainfall, with the direct effect being the scattering of solar radiation and the indirect effect facilitating raindrops to grow. These effects have important implications for sea breeze circulation, rainfall patterns, cloud seeding, and water resource management.

Summary: The IUCN Red List assessment reveals that over one-third of chondrichthyans are threatened with extinction, primarily due to overfishing. Species in tropical and subtropical coastal waters are disproportionately threatened. Urgent measures such as science-based fishing limits, effective marine protected areas, and strategies to reduce fishing mortality are needed to prevent further extinctions and ensure food security and ecosystem functions.

Summary: The mangrove forests in the Red Sea coast have attracted significant attention due to concerns about water contamination. A study found that water samples from Yanbu had higher levels of metal contamination compared to Jeddah and Al-Shuaiba, possibly due to nearby petrochemical industries. The results suggest potential environmental and human health risks in these ecosystems and highlight the importance of effective management strategies.
