“I was born beside the Red Sea — its reefs, its silence, its stories. Through Danah Marine Research, I’ve turned that lifelong connection into something greater: a non-profit committed to science, storytelling, and the protection of our marine heritage. This is my way of giving back — to the ocean that shaped me, and to the future of Saudi Arabia.”
ABDULMALIK AL SHEIKH, Founder of Danah Marine Research
