THE CORAL REEF RESTORATION CENTER

CAPSTONE PROJECT

The Coral Reef Restoration Center is an important tool that will strongly display the importance of preserving the treasures of the Red Sea. It will not only provide facilities for research and experimentation to discover and implement ways to save the declining coral reef. As a matter of fact, it will aim to instigate the public and demand their attention regarding the necessity of this situation. For this purpose, the aquarium and entertainment center were added to encourage the participation of the community and provide short to long term residency for the researchers and specialists.
