Mangrove National Park, part of Abu Dhabi’s Sheikh Zayed Protected Areas Network, and is one of Abu Dhabi’s key ecological systems. Protecting and enhancing the mangrove cover plays a vital role in mitigating climate change. Among several other critical functions, mangroves are exceptionally effective in capturing and storing carbon. They also provide a natural habitat for a wide variety of wildlife.
