Of course. The impacts of ocean acidification on the rare coral reefs of the  Red Sea are reason enough to do so in order that further research may reveal the relation of fisheries to subsistence populations in coastal Africa. But water quality alone is but one of multiple reasons doe such designation. Marine benthic communities are another reason, as is the need to monitor marine pollution by commercial vessels using the Suez Canal. Monitoring invasive exotic species is another reason. Without a series of baseline data on the Red Sea's bathymetry, marine ecology, nearshore and onshore plant and animal communities, and assimilative capacity for nutrient, turbidity and DO (dissolved oxygen) levels there would be no means of determining the health of the people whose livelihoods rely on these renewable resources of the Red Sea.
