摘要

Coastal development in the Persian/ Arabian Gulf is threatening the unique marine environments that exist there, according to a new report by the UN University's Institute for Water, Environment and Health. Some Gulf countries have developed over 40% of their coastline in the last 20 years, with such development coming on top of additional pressures such as pollution and over-exploitation of marine biological resources. Of particular concern is the creation of artificial islands along the Gulf coast; experiments carried out around Dubai's Palm Jumeirah found that water moves sluggishly around the fronds of this palm-shaped development, which may result in anoxia and thus poses a threat to marine life. Elsewhere, the construction of Palm Jebel Ali has resulted in the loss of > 8 km of natural reef habitat. A lack of adequate legal and regulatory frameworks in the Gulf, coupled with poor institutional Environmental Impact Assessment processes, hamper efforts to protect the marine environment during development projects.
