Dubai Reefs was recently featured on DXB today on World Oceans Day.

Dubai Reefs consists of a sustainable floating community for marine research, regeneration & ecotourism. The project includes residential, hospitality, retail, educational & research facilities.

The marine institute will be the heart of the project, working towards greater protection of the marine and coastal environment of Dubai. It aims to accelerate the marine science and conservation capacity of Dubai, whilst building the most diverse artificial reef, covering 200 square kilometres. It also aims to create a home to more than 1 billion corals & 100 million mangrove trees.

The project will offer unique experiences in marine ecotourism with various floating eco lodges, all of which are powered by 100% renewable energy from various types of solar & hydropower. These include wave farms that will also produce additional clean energy for Dubai’s growing population. Regenerative Ocean Farming is another key feature of the project, which is a climate friendly food production technique.

Dubai Reefs is providing a blueprint into how we can better connect our oceans with our cities and the types of assets we should be developing that addresses various challenges related to coastal resilience, marine conservation, food security, ocean health, ecotourism and much more.

The health of our cities is intrinsically tied to the health of our oceans. Dubai is best positioned to become a blueprint for innovative coastal urbanism.
