Safeguarding Coastal Habitats: Dubai Reef acts as a natural barrier, protecting Dubai's precious coastline from erosion and the damaging effects of strong waves. Supporting Fish Populations: The new reef system provides a haven for fish, fostering healthy fish populations and contributing to the overall health of the marine ecosystem. Increased Ecosystem Resilience: By creating a more diverse and robust marine ecosystem, Dubai Reef strengthens the overall resilience of the environment, making it more adaptable to future changes.
