Watch: Marine life flourishes as 'DUBAI REEF' gains momentum
Dubai's ambitious artificial reef project is showing promising signs of success in enhancing marine ecosystems within the emirate's waters. New underwater footage from the DUBAI REEF initiative reveals a thriving marine environment around its test site, with fish populations booming and habitats forming around the reef structures. Surveys report a rise in 15 native fish species, including snappers, groupers and barracuda — with an eightfold increase in fish biomass and a potential 10 per cent boost in marine biodiversity. The project, one of the world's largest purpose-built reef developments, plans to deploy 20,000 reef modules across 600 square kilometers by 2027. So far, nearly 40 per cent of the modules have been fabricated, and over 3,600 have already been installed.

Launched in 2024, the initiative is driven by a collaboration of strategic public and private partners including Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET); Dubai Environment and Climate Change Authority (DECCA), DP World; Dubai Chambers; Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate; Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation (PCFC); and Emirates. Together, they are advancing Dubai's shared sustainability objectives and supporting several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 17- Partnerships.
