The Environment Agency Abu Dhabi project aims to reduce the negative impact of climate change on coral.
Since 2005, the EAD has implemented a programme to monitor and control the state of coral reefs through seasonal surveys, using data from 10 stations across Abu Dhabi.
The reefs support biological diversity in Abu Dhabi and provide a natural habitat for many types of fish and marine life.
Under the programme, nurseries for coral will be developed to rehabilitate affected areas of reef.
