Status of Seagrass community in Northern Protected Islands, Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt

“…The low abundance can be associated with overfishing of Sea cucumbers. In the northern Red Sea, particularly in the northern city of Hurghada, the low abundance of sea cucumber was shown (Mahdy et al, 2018), and the decrease in sea cucumber in the Red Sea according to overfishing is documented by Ahmed and Lawrence (2007). Globally, the over-harvesting of sea cucumbers has led to the decline of wild stocks (Hamel et al, 2013).…”

Distribution of Seagrass Communities and associated sea cucumbers in North Red Sea Protectorates, Hurghada, Egypt

“…The low density of recorded species can be attributed to the over-fishing of sea cucumbers. In the northern Red Sea, particularly in the city of Hurghada, the low abundance of sea cucumber was remarkable (Mahdy et al, 2018(Mahdy et al, , 2020.The decrease in sea cucumber in the Red Sea is due to over-fishing documented in the study of Ahmed and Lawrence (2007). Globally, the over-harvesting of sea cucumbers has led to the decline of wild stocks (Hamel et al, 2013).…”

Distribution and Diversity of Living Natural Resources from the Most Northern Red Sea Islands, Egypt: I- Hard and Soft Corals

“…The invertebrate communities recorded in the Suez Gulf were fewer than that in south Red Sea. This may be due to that the Gulf of Suez suffers from some threats such as oil pollution and overfishing in some areas (Khalaf, et al, 2002;Mahdy, et al, 2018;Nasser, et al, 2019). This agrees with the findings of Ammar et al (2011);Al-Hammady and Mahmoud (2013) and Al-Hammady, et al (2015) who postulated that, the oil pollution and fishing activities causing coral scarcity susceptibilities.…”
