What We Do (CURA)

Our flagship initiative, CURA* (Collaborative Union for Research and Advocacy), the name reflects the need to care for and help heal the Marine Environment. It is an international coalition of leading scientific institutions, scientists, conservationists, and passionate visionaries working together to help protect and preserve the Red Sea’s fragile marine ecosystems.

⁠”I’ve spent my life studying the world’s oceans, but the Red Sea has a way of captivating even the most experienced ecologist. CURA is my way of bringing people together — scientists, advocates, communities — to protect a region that still holds so many secrets. It’s not just about conservation; it’s about care, curiosity, and collective responsibility.”
