The findings of the study added some important and necessary information about the status and condition of the coastal environment in the Sudanese Red Sea coast in terms of the extent of pollution with heavy metals. The study sites included: Marsa Bashayer, Marsa Dama Dama, Green Area, Shipyard, Marsa Halout and Dungonab Bay. The Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer was used to measure Lead, Cadmium and Nick-els. The colorimetric detection method was used for Chromium using the Spectrophotometer. Marsa Dama Dama site revealed high levels concentration of heavy metals in sediment for Lead (60.5) µg/g, Cadmium (0.22) µg/g and Chromium (146.65) µg/g. Marsa Halout showed the highest mean concentration of Nickel in sediment at 14 µg/g. The variation of concentration of metals in sediment between the sites was not significant. The mean concentration of metals in seagrass species tissues ranged from 3.9 to 26.25 µg/g for Lead, 0.1 to 0.90 µg/g for Cadmium, 0.38 to 5.96 µg/g for Nickel and 0.15 to 0.495 µg/g for Chromium.
