On #MangroveDay, we celebrate the vital ecosystems protecting our coasts, climate, and biodiversity.

With over 10,000 trees planted as part of the mangrove pilot project led by Wajd Alaidrous, #NEOM contributes to the @Gi_Saudi goal of planting 100 million trees by 2030.

A fantastic albeit unusual dive site here @NEOM - stunning coral and seagrass beds. A great dive with fantastic people giving us lots to discuss in the afternoon meetings @Coralful_Kara @peixotors @DerbyUni @GarciasNeus @brett_lyons71

A great paper written by a talented bunch of people @ShellBell2227 @CefasGovUK @NannevH @Elena_Couce @kite1414

[Khatija Alliji @khatija_alliji]

Please have a read of our new paper, which was inspired by #lockdown. It highlights ways #coralreef scientists can work remotely @Elena_Couce @ShellBell2227 @NannevH #coral #remoteworking

Looking forward to a productive few days with colleagues from @RSRC_KAUST @KAUST_News exploring options for research and collaboration @NEOM #biodiversity #nature

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

Tomorrow, I will begin the first swim across the Red Sea, to deliver a message.

Precious coral reefs are being destroyed by warming oceans. I am urging world leaders to take bold climate action at #COP27 🪸🌍🌡

#CoralSwim

@UN @UNEP @LGIM

[Brett Lyons (بريت لايونز) @brett_lyons71]

Great to have @LewisPugh, @peixotors & Ameer Eweida shine a light on the amazing ecosystems of the #RedSea thanks to @UKinSaudiArabia @UKAmbKSA for providing the platform #biodiversity #restoration #NEOM

[Lewis Pugh @LewisPugh]

I thoroughly enjoyed speaking with coral experts
@peixotors and Prof Ameer Abdulla-Eweida about how we can protect and restore Red Sea corals. 🪸

The window for saving these incredible ocean ecosystems is rapidly disappearing.
