  • 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.

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.
