Coral reefs in the Gulf of Eilat paused growth for 3,000 years due to sea-level changes but later recovered. Scientists warn ...

Researchers studied the annual mass deaths of pink amphipods in Eilat. Climate change and disease were ruled out.

Visitors to the shores of Eilat in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea, during March and April in the past two years were met with an unexpected sight—the shores were tinged with a striking pink hue.

Scientists have discovered that coral reefs in the Gulf of Eilat (also known as the Gulf of Aqaba), in the northern Red Sea, stopped growing for a long period between 4,400 and 1,000 years ago.

Coral reefs are known for their vibrant colors and abundant marine life. They shelter countless fish and invertebrate species, stabilize coastlines, and supply vital resources for communities.

For example, in 2017, a sudden rise of more than 4°C in sea temperatures killed many coral reef fish in Eilat. However, temperature records did not show any unusual heat events before or during ...

Researchers have found that reef fish from the Arabian Gulf, the world's hottest sea, exhibit a higher tolerance to temperature fluctuations compared to those from more thermally stable coral reefs.

Coral reefs are some of the world's most diverse ecosystems. Despite making up less than 1% of the world's oceans, one ...
