The Red Sea is a seawater inlet of the Indian Ocean, lying between Africa and Asia. It is connected to the ocean through the Bab el Mandeb strait and the Gulf of Aden. In the north, there is the Sinai Peninsula, the Gulf of Aqaba, and the Gulf of Suez- leading to the Suez Canal.

The Red Sea is a rich and diverse ecosystem. It stretches over 1,240 miles along the coast of Egypt, Sudan, and Eritrea. It has more than 1,100 species of fish – this includes 42 species of deepwater fish – and nearly 10% of these are exclusive to this region and cannot be found anywhere in the world. The rich diversity of species found here is due to the 2,000 km of coral reef extending along its coastline. These fringing reefs are 5000–7000 years old and are largely formed of stony acropora and porites corals. The reef features include abundant aquatic life, platforms, lagoons, and cylinders. It was recognized by the Egyptian government, who set up the Ras Mohammed National Park in 1983.

The Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site located in Dorset and East Devon Coast in southern England. The coast which measures 153 kilometres (95 mi) stretches from Orcombe Point near Exmouth in East Devon to Old Harry Rocks near Swanage in East Dorset and is England’s first natural World Heritage Site and is truly a stunning coastline.

Jurassic Coast was named so because the area consists of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous cliffs, spanning the Mesozoic Era which documents 180 million years of geological history which scientists called geological “walk through time”.

The site contains unique geological features and excellent examples of different landforms. Some of the famous is the natural arch at Durdle Door, the cove and limestone folding at Lulworth Cove and an island, the Isle of Portland. Chesil Beach is a fine example of both a tombolo and a storm beach.

The Cox’s Bazar Beach is considered the longest natural beach in the world. Situated in the town of Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh, this unbroken 125 km sandy beach is one f Bangladesh’s major tourist attraction.

It is also known as “Panowa”, meaning “yellow flower” It was first named as “Palongkee” before it was changed to Cox’s Bazar, in honor of an army officer, Captain Cox, who serve in British India and died on 1798.

Located in New Caledonia in the South Pacific, the Lagoons of New Caledonia is composed of six marine clusters that represent the main diversity of coral reefs and associated ecosystems in the French Pacific Ocean archipelago of New Caledonia. It’s the third largest coral reef structure in the world.

The lagoons features an exceptional diversity of coral and fish species and a continuum of habitats from mangroves to sea grasses. It display intact ecosystems, with healthy populations of large predators, and a great number and diversity of big fish. The reef systems provide habitat to a number of threatened fish, turtles, and marine mammals, including the third largest population of dugongs in the world. These Lagoons are of exceptional natural beauty, and contain reefs of varying age from living reefs to ancient fossil reefs, providing an important source of information on the natural history of Oceania.

It is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is considered the world’s largest coral reef system and is the world’s biggest single structure made by living organisms, the coral polyps.

The Great Barrier Reef is so large that it can be seen from outer space. It is made up of around 3,000 individual reefs and over 900 islands and it stretches for more than 1,600 miles.

Located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland in northeast Australia, the Great Barrier Reef is composed of more than 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for 1,600 miles over an area of approximately 133,000 sq miles. The Great Barrier Reef supports a wide diversity of marine life.

Tubbataha Reef is an atoll coral reef located in the Sulu Sea of the Philippines. It is a protected marine sanctuary as Tubbataha Reef National Marine Park and is nominated at the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

The word tubbataha is a combination of two Samal words which means “a long reef exposed at low tide”.

The reef is made up of two coral atolls divided by an eight-kilometer wide channel. The South Atoll, the smaller of the two is five kilometers in length and three kilometers in width; while the North Atoll, the larger of the two is 16 kilometers long and five kilometers wide. Each reef has a single small islet that protrudes from the water. The atolls are separated by a deep channel 8 km wide.
