Eritrea is located between latitudes 1245’N and 1803’N and 3735’E and 4307’E and lies on the eastern horn of Africa. Bordering the longest coastline of the Red Sea to the east, Eritrea has a mainland coast stretching over 1,300 km, adding to the 1,950 km of the additional coast of over 350 offshore islands, which include the offshore archipelagos of Dahlak and Hawakil and the Bay of Assab. Eritrea’s extensive coast supports a rich array of natural systems including coral reefs, mangrove forests, beaches and seagrass beds, providing important foraging and breeding grounds for marine turtles. All of the species recorded in the WIO region occur in Eritrea’s waters.
