Abstract EN

Longer sustainable environmental planning in the management of natural resources is an urgent need to ensure the conservation and protection of resources and the achievement of development, especially with the negative human impacts which have led to a rapid deterioration and complex changing in the environmental systems.

The mangrove forests is an important component of the vegetation elements in the Red Sea coastal environment, which represents a complex ecosystem that includes a unique diversity of organisms.

There are mangrove forests in Saudi Arabia on the Red Sea coast from the south to the city of Dhuba to the north, where the estimated area of approximately 204 km2.

There are two types of mangrove forests which are kn own as Avicennia marina and Rhizophoramucronata.

However, the estimates of mangrove area on the coast of the Red Sea in Egypt, approximately 5 km 2 only, extending from the south to the north including Halayib and Shalateen, Marsa Alam, the Wadi El-Jamal, Hamata, Kilo 17 south of Safaga and El-Gouna (25 kilometers north of Hurghada).

This study aims to identify the sustainable environmental management of mangrove ecosystems on both sides of the Red Sea, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, by shedding light on the geographical distribution of the study area, and to highlight the importance of mangrove environmentally and economically, the application of strategic plan standards SWOT on mangrove ecosystem as an important environmental resource in the study area in terms of points strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, and finally show the economic assessment of the mangrove in the study area and the optimum means to manage it environmentally.

The study relied on several platforms including; the regional approach as the study area territories solo itself, and the approach of evolutionary by monitoring the evolution of the mangrove forest areas, and the causal approach - cosplay by highlighting the impact of the human role on the mangrove environment.
