marine metagenome
The Objective of this sampling trip is to contribute to the âOcean Sampling Dayâ initiative through providing environmental water samples from the Red Sea, based on OSP standardized protocols. The Red Sea is a large marine ecosystem, characterized by a relatively high salinity and temperature with complex and diverse biological life including unique coral reefs. The two Red Sea samples were obtained near the coast of Hurghada, a main tourist center. Both sample sites Abu Hashish and Ras Disha are shallow diving sites (5 -30 m). Abu Hashish is characterized by hard, soft and table corals abundance. Ras Disha is also unique for itâs large patches of seagrass.
