Reef Watch

A clownfish swims amid the corals of the Red Sea, where WHOI researchers are planning to team with colleagues from Saudi Arabia to examine a reef system that has mostly gone unstudied. As part of a partnership between WHOI and the new King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, researchers will investigate fisheries and aquaculture, the coastal hydrography and circulation of the Red Sea, and coral reef ecology over the short and long term.
