The Dubai Reefs project aims to accelerate the marine science and conservation capacity of Dubai, whilst building a diverse artificial reef, covering 200 square kilometers.
The project, unveiled in Dubai by URB, will also offer unique experiences in marine ecotourism with various floating eco lodges, all of which are powered by 100% renewable energy with various types of solar and hydropower. These include wave farms that will also produce additional clean energy for Dubai’s growing population.

The ocean is the source of life controlling everything. Given that everything on our planet is connected, a healthy ocean is a healthy city. Our ocean will be entirely different by the end of the century if we don’t take action today.
… said Baharash Bagherian, CEO of URB
To remind, earlier this week UNCTAD released a report to highlight that there is an urgent need to protect our oceans and sustainably use their resources.
