Accelerating KSA’s Coastal Development Projects While Prioritizing Ocean Protection


The coastal development projects in Saudi Arabia are set to transform the nation’s coastlines into thriving centers of tourism, innovation, and sustainability. However, these ambitious projects face critical challenges, including environmental concerns, impact on marine ecosystems, and the complexities of large-scale infrastructure.

Sustainable Coastal Development KSA Forum taking place on 13-14 May will bring together key stakeholders to tackle these challenges and explore strategic solutions for developing eco-friendly coastal communities. The forum will focus on sustainable design, infrastructure integration, and the preservation of marine life while spotlighting groundbreaking projects in tourism, shore protection, and biodiversity restoration.

Key Focus Areas

  • Addressing challenges in co-investing and optimizing infrastructure for large-scale coastal projects.

  • Ensuring biodiversity protection and climate resilience amidst rapid coastal development.

  • Exploring engineering challenges, particularly geotechnical studies and dynamic soil compaction methods.

  • Strategies for enhancing tourism through luxury offerings and sustainable coastal management practices.
