Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed, Ruler's Representative in the Al Dhafra Region and Chairman of the Board of Directors of EAD, said: “We have worked in several directions to sustain our marine environments and have succeeded in restoring our fish stocks, strengthened our plans to plant and rehabilitate mangroves, and launched the region’s largest coral reef rehabilitation project.

"All of this further emphasizes the emirate’s important role at a local and global level in the conservation of species and their ecosystems.

"Efforts and resources are being directed to serve the goals of sustainable development and to preserve natural resources and ensure their sustainability for future generations.” 

It also launched the region’s largest coral reef rehabilitation project in June 2021, with the aim of cultivating more than one million colonies of coral reefs to increase their area and mitigate the pressures on coral reefs as a result of climate change and rising temperatures on the sea floor.
