AMMAN (JT) — Enhancing their commitment to exploring the marine ecosystem of the Red Sea, and specifically its coastal coral reefs, representatives of AD Ports Group — a global facilitator of trade and logistics — recently conducted a capacity-building workshop titled ‘Coastal defence infrastructure: Barren rocks or novel ecosystems?’ in Aqaba.

The workshop was attended by the Environmental Department of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) and professors from the Marine Science Station (MSS), an inter-university research institute owned by the University of Jordan and Yarmouk University, according to a statement from AD Ports Group.

The workshop explored the latest research performed by New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) and MSS on the Arabian Gulf and Red Sea for a better understanding of the current status of Aqaba’s marine environment.
