Marine life around Jounieh
The local reefs are home to a variety of colourful reef fish that inhabit the rocky structures and artificial reefs. You will find a steady presence of marine life around the various wrecks and military installations scattered along the coast.
In the more sheltered areas and reef flats, the biodiversity is supported by the varied topography. The artificial reefs, such as the military tanks and vehicles, act as vital hubs for resident species.
