A closed sea the evolution of the Mediterranean is affected profoundly by invasive species. Our region given its geographical position is influenced by those coming through the Suez Canal. Since its earliest days this "lessepsian" migration has attracted the interest of scientists documentary directors and divers alike. We who are making a living here in scuba diving are following the changing biodiversity with curiosity and sometimes with concern. If you see any possibly foreign species anywhere on the Mediterranean please let us know by filling the form at the end of this book and sending it to us. This will help scientists monitor such invasive sightings. We will get beck to you with species information.
With this book without a presumption of being scientific or complete but rather tentatively an aesthetic approach I offer my underwater observations on Red Sea species seen in this region between 2000 - 2015 with 128 photographs of 58 species.
