In addition to covering topics relevant to research in the region and providing insights into marine science for non-experts, it is also of interest to those involved in the management of coastal zones and encourages further research on the Red SeaSummary: Introduction to oceanographic and biological aspects of the Red Sea -- The tides of the Red Sea -- Physical and chemical properties of seawater in the Gulf of Aqaba and Red Sea -- Sources of organic tracers in atmospheric dust, surface seawater particulate matter and sediment of the Red Sea -- Nitrogen, phosphorus and organic carbon in the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coastal waters: Behaviour and human impact -- Automatic detection of coral reef induced turbulent boundary flow in the Red Sea from Flock-1 satellite data -- Red Sea coastal lagoons: Their dynamics and future challenges -- Distribution and sources of hydrocarbon compounds in sediments from Obhur Lagoon: Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia -- Metal contamination assessment in the sediments of the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia -- Calcite and aragonite saturation levels of the Red Sea coastal waters of Yemen during early winter and expected pH decrease (acidification) effects -- Geochemistry and life at the interfaces of brine-filled deeps in the Red Sea -- Desalination of Red Sea and Gulf of Aden seawater to mitigate the fresh water crisis in the Yemen Republic -- Red Sea research: A personal perspective -- Endemic Fishes of the Red Sea -- Red Sea sharks - biology, fisheries and conservation -- Review of cetaceans in the Red Sea -- Where dolphins sleep: Resting areas in the Red Sea -- Status of Red Sea Dugongs -- Spatial patterns of standing stock and diversity of macrobenthic communities in the Red Sea -- Seagrass distribution, composition and abundance along the Saudi Arabian coast of Red Sea -- Current knowledge of coral diseases present within the Red Sea -- Physicochemical dynamics, microbial community patterns, and reef growth in coral reefs of the central Red Sea -- Meiofauna of the Red Sea Mangroves with emphasis on their response to habitat degradation: Sudan’s mangroves as a case study -- Morphology and anatomy of the pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera in the Red Sea: A case study from Dungonab Bay, Sudan -- Copepoda - their status and ecology in the Red Sea -- Zooplankton of the Red Sea -- Phytoplankton and primary production in the Red Sea -- The role of citizen science in monitoring megafauna of the Red SeaPPN: PPN: 1045548308Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-EES | ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-SXEE
