His Excellency Dr. Thani Al Zyoudi, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, has launched the first tidal beach pool initiative, which is being implemented by the Environment Protection and Development Authority in Ras Al Khaimah, on the coast of Al Marjan Island, to increase the biodiversity of coastal marine organisms and promote eco-tourism.HE Dr. Thani Al Zeyoudi, confirmed that the UAE has presented a global model in preserving the biodiversity of marine organisms, according to the prospective data through its ambitious plans, and within the ministry’s strategy and vision to achieve environmental leadership for sustainable development involving all sectors of society. The initiative aims to provide an ideal safe environment for marine organisms such as clogs, shrimp and marine snails, to ensure biodiversity, with environmental protection and fishing prohibited on the shores of Coral Island as a natural tourist reserve.3000 cavesThe UAE is exerting great efforts in preserving the marine environment through initiatives that stimulate the sustainability of biodiversity, including the landing of 3000 artificial caves on the coasts of the UAE, in order to support the sustainability of the marine environment and promote marine biodiversity, and build incubators for small fish and enhance the stock of fish. The ministry is targeting 1000 new caves in 2019, in cooperation with environmental protection agencies in the UAE.studies proved the success of the Ministerial Draft Resolution No. 501 of 2015 on the regulation of Sheri and Safi in conjunction with the breeding season. The study, which lasted for four years, is scheduled to be completed this year, and includes monitoring and follow-up of the biodiversity of caves. Indicators show the positive results and its importance in attracting many types of fish to the shores of the country, which contributed to the increase of daily fishing harvest according to surveys carried out by the Ministry with the fishermen in the country.Positive resultshe results of surveys conducted by the Ministry during the past years since the implementation of the resolution showed a significant impact in attracting Safi and Sheri and an increment in their numbers and sizes compared to the period prior to the implementation of the resolution. In addition to the high daily harvest of marine fishing operations of these species throughout the year. The openness of fish markets in the country and the commitment of traders to the daily supply of hotels and restaurants limits the decision to prevent the landing of Sheri and Safi within the first 12 hours of the end of the ban.That the decision to ban sharks fishing aims to maintain an ecological balance. The dependence of sharks in their diet on weak and sick fish, which in the event of breeding will transmit infection to other species. Sharks are an important species in the country’s marine environment. Therefore, overfishing of these fish threatens the stability and balance of the marine environment and the diversity and survival of other marine species. The Ministry has registered 43 species of sharks that contribute to the biodiversity of the marine system.Quality initiativeDr. Saif Al Ghais, Director General of the Environment Protection and Development Authority in Ras Al Khaimah, affirmed EPDA’s commitment to the UAE’s environmental strategy and the national agenda.
