Abstract
⺠We assess the condition of a highly threatened shallow-water reef in the Red Sea. ⺠The reef is used by fishermen and tourists and shows much coral rubble and breakage. ⺠A high proportion of branching corals makes the model reef particularly vulnerable. ⺠Questionnaires revealed that tourists are interested in nature and education. ⺠We suggest a snorkelling trail to reduce tourism-based damage and increase awareness.
