OceanX | Unveiling the Mysteries of the Red Sea @OceanX | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
The Red Sea is home to some of the hottest, saltiest waters in the ocean, one of the longest continuous reef systems in the world, and “super corals” that can withstand high temperatures. It’s full of biodiversity hotspots, thanks to habitats like coral labyrinths and blue holes. It hosts a wealth of dolphins, whales, dugongs, and other megafauna—yet little is known about their distribution. It’s a fascinating, extremely understudied ecosystem.
OceanX and the National Center for Wildlife embarked on the largest and most comprehensive research expedition ever undertaken in this region, to unravel the secrets of one of the world's most enigmatic marine ecosystems from its sunlit shallows to its mysterious abyssal depths.
