Suez Canal Migrates Marine Life Amid War Ceasefire
A joint American Israeli study tracks unprecedented migratory traffic through the Suez Canal since its 1967 closure. Researchers at Hebrew University coordinate a $500,000 five year project with 15 American and 15 Israeli scientists gathering specimens from Haifa Eilat and Ethiopia. They note Bitter Lakes once blocked migrations but war and ceasefire now allow wildlife to cross freely between Red Sea and Mediterranean.
