The purpose of this study was to assess the north coasts Egyptian Red Sea, including Ras Gharieb, Hurghada, Safaga and Qusier, by evaluating heavy metal pollution in seawater benthic flora fauna winter summer 2016. concentrations metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cd Pb) were analysed with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer. results revealed that Fe levels ranged from 7.86 27.95 µg l-1, while Zn fell between 1.83 5.63 l-1. In contrast, recorded values Pb minimal at sites. Regarding biota samples, Porifera species more adaptable than others accumulation most their tissues. Furthermore, seaweeds seagrasses demonstrated remarkable adaptation highly polluted regions, especially those high turbidity, landfilling, sedimentation eutrophication rates – much fauna. Our research highlights critical need for strict regulation emissions these coastal regions.
