In the Red Sea, coral reefs are located around the entire perimeter of the sea. It's interesting to note why wildlife is not exported from countries like Sudan, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen. With Egypt, it's clear—there's a complete ban, but what about these countries? Is there also a taboo on exports? Maybe someone knows what the issue is?

I don't know about the others, but Yemen is definitely not interested in exporting livestock; they export pirates instead. :-)

A. Knyazev once brought the sea from Saudi Arabia. Fish, corals a little. Then something didn't work out, and he didn't go there anymore. Apparently, these countries you mentioned are not involved in supplies, IMHO, according to Sharia, it's not allowed...

Odessa, when I was in Israel (if you remember, I had the idea to bring some strombus from there), I got into a conversation with an acquaintance from Masada, and we talked about the sea. I asked him (there's also a small reef in Israel), and he said that the Arabs, for some reasons, deliberately do not export their treasures... plus he mentioned that it's simply ecological, as everything grows slowly there (I don't know why, I just took his word for it). In other words, starting to catch fish and corals would essentially destroy the reef since they are not very large (relatively speaking)... I don't know if that's true or not, but that's the answer I got.

Here is the dilemma: those who know are silent, and those who don't know are also silent.

Well, why is he silent? Here he writes:

That's right... The Red Sea is closed for the export of animals! There is a farm in Yemen, but it is rumored to belong to the Dutch... Our supplier very rarely can obtain animals from this region.

There is no export for the same reason "why whaling is prohibited."
