Abstract

Tabuk region is situated in the northwestern side of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia; its strategic location is a main center connecting the three old continents, Europe, Africa, and Asia, making it one of the most promising and suitable region for industrial investment in mining industries, agriculture, fisheries, livestock, crafts, and tourism. \nThe importance of this region and its futuristic growth stands as a promising source for development and investment in this region, in order to achieve the VISION 2030 of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Giga projects like Red Sea Project, NEOM, & Line are under development, and projects will flourish greatly in this region in a way that suits the expected growth of the kingdom\'s economy and population. This is a preliminary review about the published data, discussing the important aspects of Tabuk region in light of heavy metals and its toxicity in ground water and marine organism. It further interprets the importance and the value of coastal ecosystems in Tabuk region. While the gaps in data and results regarding metal pollution resulting from all major activities in multiple sectors (desalination plants, industrial plants and oil refineries) in the Tabuk region, a modest redefinition of the priorities of the existing processes would be required. Recommendations, temporal monitoring and regional strategies are provided to increasingly promote the effectiveness and competence of coastal region administration.
