Gotta Abu Ramada Reef - Red Sea Coastal Development in Egypt - 2006
An underwater shot in Gotta Abu Ramada reef near Hurghada, Egypt. Hurghada, at the northern tip of Egypt's Red Sea coast has become a sprawling mass of concrete hotels and apartment blocks. In a matter of twenty years, the area has undergone large-scale development driven by the tourist dollar. Crystal clear waters and unique coral reefs have made the Red Sea one of the world's prime diving destinations. Yet these reefs are threatened by problems such as overfishing, pollution and uncontrolled coastal development.
