What is expected to be the largest marine restoration project in the world, Dubai Reefs is additionally expected to help create 30,000 jobs in a green economy; this was highlighted on the ArabianBusiness.com news website on 9th May 2023 which went on to reveal that the project would feature 100 million mangrove trees and a staggering one billion corals. Once completed, this floating living lab which will be powered by renewable energy will have a sustainable floating community for marine regeneration and research as well as ecotourism.
The artificial reef, expected to measure around 200 square kilometres, will be created in phases; parts of the reef will be near artificial islands such as the Palm Jumeirah and the World Islands off the coast of the mainland where one can stay at a luxury hotel in Dubai. This includes well-placed properties such as Anantara Downtown Dubai Hotel which organises personal helicopter rides that provide a great aerial perspective of the city; this is also an ideal way to get a sense of the extent of Dubai’s coastline and what the Marine Restoration Project would be like. Expected to transform this emirate into an eco-destination, this unique initiative will additionally feature Regenerative Ocean Farming which is a food production technique that is climate-friendly too.
