Jubail Mangrove Park

The first self-contained educational, natural, and recreational destination of its sort in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi is Jubail Mangrove Park, their major goal is to raise awareness and understanding of the important ecological functions of the mangrove habitats. The park is famous for its amazing natural view and boardwalks, you can enjoy kayaking and walking. Conserving and planting mangroves provides natural adaptation to the effects of climate change and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Recently, EAD has planted around 15 million mangroves across Abu Dhabi’s coastal areas, including Jubail Island, Al Mirfa, and different locations across Al Dhafra region. This is in alignment with UAE’s aim of planting 100 million mangroves by 2030 to help achieve Net Zero by 2050.

EAD has also successfully planted one million mangrove seeds using drones, as part of the first phase of a project supporting the Abu Dhabi Mangrove Initiative. EAD is the first organisation to plant mangroves on such a large-scale using drones.
