Abstract : In many areas of the world, coastal water is under strong environmental pressure, especially when situated in densely populated and industrialized regions. The global awareness of environmental problems resulted in the introduction of new environmental laws. Therefore, marine studies are required to understand the biogeochemical processes affecting marine pollutants behavior. For this reasons, an increased effort is made to monitor chemical parameters in seawater. Jeddah city is one of the most important cities in Saudi Arabia. It is an economical city and it has many industrials and recreational activities along its coast. One of these recreational areas is Sharm Obhur (Obhur Creek). As a result of increasing tourism activity in Sharm Obhur, the area is subjected to numerous pressures. Therefore pollution by inorganic (e. g. nutrients) and organic compounds (poly aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) and coprostanol a faecal sterol) is expected to increase with increasing human activities. It is paramount to examine the quality of its setting to protect the environment. We propose to measure the concentration of nutrients, PAH and coprostanol in the seawater of Sharm Obhur. The study would lead us to develop a database for Sharm Obhur and these data can be used by environmental managers to take decisions in order to protect the marine environment of Sharm Obhur nearby area.
