  • Ecological Patterns and Status of the Reefs of Sudan
    Proceedings of the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, 7-11 July 2008 Session number 18 Ecological patterns and status of the reefs of Sudan R. Klaus1, J. Kemp1, M. Samoilys1,2, H. Anlauf1, S. El Din3, E.O. Abdalla3, T. Chekchak1 1) Equipe Cousteau, 92 Avenue Kleber, 75116 Paris, France 2) CORDIO East Africa, P.O.BOX 24562, Karen 00502, Nairobi, Kenya 3) Red Sea University, Port Sudan, Sudan Abstract. Sudan borders the western shore of the Red Sea, a sea recognised as being of global importance for marine biodiversity. A survey carried out during October / November 2007 provided the opportunity to assess the current status of the reefs, many of which have never previously been surveyed. Within the Sudanese Red Sea there is a pronounced biogeographical transition from reef communities that are characteristic of the northern Red Sea to those more representative of the southern Red Sea. Recreational and extractive use of resources is still moderately low however the condition of the reefs and the abundance of resources is highly variable. There are low abundances of several key families of commercial fin fish (particularly groupers and larger snappers) and invertebrate groups (particularly sea cucumbers and larger gastropod molluscs). There is also a conspicuous absence of sea urchins (Diadema spp. and Echinometra spp.) from many sites. The reefs of Sudan were impacted by previous coral bleaching events, although the extent of mortality was influenced by variability in community composition and local environmental conditions. The biogeographic trends within Sudanese waters and the variability in resource abundance and reef condition all have important implications for management planning.

  • Sanganeb Marine National Park and Dungonab Bay – Mukkawar Island Marine National Park - 2017 Conservation Outlook Assessment (Archived)
    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Sanganeb Marine National Park and Dungonab Bay – Mukkawar Island Marine National Park - 2017 Conservation Outlook Assessment (archived) IUCN Conservation Outlook Assessment 2017 (archived) Finalised on 08 November 2017 Please note: this is an archived Conservation Outlook Assessment for Sanganeb Marine National Park and Dungonab Bay – Mukkawar Island Marine National Park. To access the most up-to-date Conservation Outlook Assessment for this site, please visit https://www.worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org. Sanganeb Marine National Park and Dungonab Bay – Mukkawar Island Marine National Park عقوملا تامولعم Country: Sudan Inscribed in: 2016 Criteria: (vii) (ix) (x) The property consists of two separate areas: Sanganeb is an isolated, coral reef structure in the central Red Sea and the only atoll, 25 km off the shoreline of Sudan. The second component of the property is made up of Dungonab Bay and Mukkawar Island, situated 125 km north of Port Sudan. It includes a highly diverse system of coral reefs, mangroves, seagrass beds, beaches and islets. The site provides a habitat for populations of seabirds, marine mammals, fish, sharks, turtles and manta rays. Dungonab Bay also has a globally significant population of dugongs. © UNESCO صخلملا 2017 Conservation Outlook Good with some concerns The property contains impressive natural phenomena, formations and areas of great natural beauty and is a relatively undisturbed area that serves as a standard to assess the health of the central Red Sea’s regional ecosystems. Its marine habitats are well preserved and remain largely untouched and unspoiled, largely due to isolation and low visitation. However, some degradation of the site’s biodiversity values through exploitation by the local community is a potential threat as are increasing impacts from climate change, given it is one of the northernmost tropical coral reef systems on earth.

  • An Early Historic Assemblage Offshore of Godawaya, Sri Lanka: Evidence for Early Regional Seafaring in South Asia
    Author version: J Mari. Arch., vol.9(1); 2014; 41–58 An early historic assemblage offshore of Godawaya, Sri Lanka: Evidence for early regional seafaring in South Asia R. Muthucumarana1, A.S. Gaur2*, W.M. Chandraratne1, M. Manders3, B. Ramlingeswara Rao2, Ravi Bhushan4, V.D. Khedekar2 and A.M.A. Dayananda1 1. Maritime Archaeology Unit, Central Cultural Fund, Fort, Gale, Sri Lanka *2. CSIR-National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, Goa, India, Email: [email protected] 3. Cultural Heritage Agency, Smallepad 5, 3811 MG Amersfoort, The Netherlands 4. Physical Research Laboratory, Navarangpura, Ahmedabad, India Abstract Investigations in 2010 by an international team of maritime archaeologists yielded a concentration of artefacts identified by the authors as the remains of a shipwreck off the southern coastal village of Godawaya, Sri Lanka. The major findings from this site include many quern stones, various types of ceramics, and glass ingots. The comparative study of the artefacts from the Godawaya site and terrestrial sites of Sri Lanka and India suggest that the ship might have been originated from the southern part of the Indian subcontinent. Based on analysis of the artefacts and radiocarbon dating of wood fragments from the site, a broad date of 2nd BCE to 2st centuries CE is assigned to the assemblage, assigning it to the early historical period. Thus, this is the earliest known and as yet investigated shipwreck in South Asia. Keywords: Sri Lanka, quern stones, Black and Red Ware, glass ingots, Early historic shipwreck 1.0 Introduction The strategic location of Sri Lanka in the northern centre of the Indian Ocean allowed it to develop to a great extent during the medieval period (8th to 14th centuries) as a centre of maritime commercial interfaces between East and West, from East Asia to the Persian Gulf, Arabian Peninsula and African continent (Hourani 1995, Tampoe 1990, Bopearachchi 1996).The island, however, played an important role in earlier and later periods (Ray 2003:117).
