Red Sea Coral, Climate Change, and Regional Cooperation

The Swiss Connection recently posted a ten minute podcast titled "Science and Diplomacy Hope to Save Red Sea Coral" by Julia Crawford.

Scientists explain that corals in the Red Sea are more resistent to climate change than in most other parts of the world. But it is critical that littoral countries take steps to avoid pollution that can damage or kill existing coral reefs, which if properly managed can be an important tourist attraction. This is another reason for cooperation among countries bordering the Red Sea.
