	IUCN News - A sting in the tale for sharks and rays
		The workshop confirms the widely-accepted notion that slow-growing sharks and rays are exceptionally vulnerable to over-fishing, and that deep-water species are being depleted at an alarming rate.
		Proposed additions to the Red List include three species of angel sharks, two species of skates, and several species of deep-water sharks, all of which are considered Critically Endangered in the region, as well as two species of coastal ray, now considered Endangered.
		Angel sharks, formerly abundant large coastal sharks, were once a common sight in fish markets, but have largely vanished, almost unnoticed, from the European seas that are their world stronghold.

	Egypt: About the Red Sea of Egypt
		The Red Sea, where the desert meets the ocean, is truly one of the planet’s most exotic and fascinating natural seascape environments.
		The Red Sea is still widening at about one-half inch per year, the rift is the youngest region of continental breakup on the planet, allowing geologists to learn about processes that occurred in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans hundreds of millions of years earlier.
		The open sea’s cooling effect creates an interesting temperature pattern: maximum summer temperatures are lower in the south while minimum temperatures are higher in the north with the opposite occurring during the winter.

		The sea floor has a maximum depth of 2,500 m in the central median trench and an average depth of 500 m, but it also has extensive shallow shelves, noted for their marine life and corals.
		The sea is still widening and there are small volcanic features in the deeper parts, it is considered that the sea will become an ocean in time (as proposed in the model of Tuzo Wilson).

	About the Red Sea
		The main ports on the Red Sea and its northern arms are Suez (Egypt), Elat (Israel), Jeddah (Saudi Arabia), Hodeida (Yemen), Massawa (Eritrea) and Port Sudan (Sudan).
		The Red Sea reefs are glittering jewels of basslets to the stately grandeur of a 1.5m (5ft) bumphead parrotfish.
		Sharks abound in some seasons, with greys, hammerheads, fltip and whitetip reef sharks cruising along the coastal reefs, while other marine species such as hawksbill turtles and even dolphins are frequently sighted.

	Eritrea - Red Sea
		The Red Sea is 2,350 kilometers in length and reaches its maximum width of 350 kilometers at the Eritrean coast.
		The principal Red Sea ports include Suez and Al Qusayr in Egypt, Port Sudan and Sawakin in Sudan, Massawa and Assab in Eritrea, Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, and Al Hudaydah and Mocha (Al Mukha) in Yemen.
		Thus the Red Sea is a kind of special-environment incubator for the evolution of immigrant Indian Ocean species.

	Reef Sharks - from DivingWithSharks.com (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Blacktip reef shark is a common reef shark with distinctive fl markings on the ends of its fins and a blunt snout, usually a small shark less than a meter and a half.
		This shark is made conspicuous by the white edges on all of its fins, and it is considered dangerous as well as a powerful and active predator, constantly patrolling the Red Sea and on Indo-Pacific coral reefs.
		Also common in the Red Sea and Indo-Pacific, this shark is smaller than the silver-tip, and is very listless during the daytime, hiding in crevices and under the reefs.

		According to the Shark trust, about a hundred million sharks are killed every year for the sake of their fins.
		The fact that the Egyptian Red Sea, regarded by most divers as a fully protected haven for marine life, may be contributing to this trade is cause for further alarm.
		A live shark can be worth much more to a country's economy than a dead shark, perhaps as much as ten thousand dollars per animal in parts of the world where sharks are big attractions for divers.

	Why Do Sharks Live in Salt Water?
		Instead of being less salty than the sea, sharks store certain metabolic wastes (namely, urea and trimethylamine oxide, or TMAO for short) so that their overall 'saltiness' is actually slightly greater than that of the sea.
		Any excess water in a shark's body is filtered by the kidneys and excreted out an opening called the 'cloaca', located between the pelvic fins (the rearmost paired fins, behind the shark's belly).
		If a typical sharks were to swim its very 'salty' body into fresh water, so much fresh water would diffuse into its tissues that the kidneys would have to work overtime in order to get rid of it all.

	The Red Sea
		The Red Sea is expanding geologically speaking as the Middle East subcontinent and the African continent drift apart.
		Currents in the Red Sea are totally unpredictable (which helps explains many of the wrecks with slow moving freighters combined with the fact there are many reefs out in the middle of nowhere).
		The Red Sea has some of the BEST tropical diving I have seen so far (my experience is limited to Hawaii, the Bahamas, and Fiji).

	Poor publicity and taste for the exotic put sharks on danger list - Times Online
		SHARKS face a grave risk of extinction because the ruling body on European fishing is attempting to weaken the restrictions on finning, conservationists say.
		The Shark Alliance, which includes leading oceanographers and environmentalists, says that a third of the 130 species in Europe are on the threatened list and that another 20 per cent are in immediate danger of joining them.
		Sharks are particularly vulnerable to overfishing as they grow slowly, mature late and produce few young.

		The trick is enter the water so that you descend to the start of the canyon at around 35 metres, where whitetip reefs sharks often dot the sandy shelf, along with blue spot stingrays.
		There are websites aplenty on the Red Sea, but a couple of useful sites include www.sinaidivers.com which has site maps for both the diving and the hotels, and also Egypt: Red Sea Virtual Diving Centre www.touregypt.net/vdc which provides a lot of useful information including other web links.

	The Secret Wilderness of the RED SEA
		I am diving in the Red Sea, though in an environment so different from the familiar blue water and towering coral reefs which typify the Red Sea that it is hard to believe it is part of the same body of water.
		The sea around these desert landscapes, however, is a veritable boiling cauldron of marine life that is outstanding in its abundance and in its unique concoction of species.
		A clue to the enormous wealth and abundance of marine life that is found in the southern Red Sea lies in the cold, nutrient-rich deep water upwellings that occur in this area.

		Sea between the Egyptian port city of Hurghada and the beautiful coastal city of Sharm el Sheik.
		Since there is no such thing as spoiled reef or ordinary corals anywhere in the Red Sea (south of the resort towns), it's nearly impossible for this live-aboard cruise to be a flat-out dud, unless a huge storm comes in -- which is only likely in mid-winter, after Christmas.
		Beaches on the Mediterranean and Red Sea coasts are generally unpolluted; however, there is a strong risk of exposure to the bilharzia parasite when swimming in the Nile or canals, walking barefoot along the river or drinking untreated river water.

		Despite the fact that it is so narrow, it is therefore, a very deep sea, reaching almost 3000 meters in the central area and dropping 600-800 meters in many points near the reef: a wall of water where scuba divers find themselves swimming.
		Although the fauna is more or less the same throughout the Red Sea, the characteristics of the seabottom vary greatly.
		The end of the Sinai peninsula is one of the most beautiful areas in the whole of the Red Sea and Ras Mohammad, the extreme tip is classed among the ten most beautiful diving zones in the world.
