This guide is designed to be used as an aid to the identification of marine species occurring within the Arabian Peninsula by public observers. However, the contents are by no means comprehensive, with species inclusion based on their likelihood of occurrence and conservation status.

 

For a more in depth look into marine species of the Arabian Peninsula and an insight into our interaction with them, kindly consider joining us for the

Arabian Marine Species Observer training course, where you will receive the full Arabian Marine Species Field Guide along with many other invaluable course materials.
