Description: This dataset represents Coral Reef Habitat derived through Satellite Image processing. Coral Reef Status: Critical Habitat within Abu Dhabi emirate. Location: This habitat type is mainly found in shallow water surrounding the islands of Abu Dhabi emirate. One stand is found in the east at Khalifa Port, while larger areas of coral reef are found around the islands of the western region. This includes Abu Al Abyadh, Bu Tinah, Mubarraz, as well as the islands within the Al Yasat Marine Protected Area. Species diversity increases across a west-east gradient. Description: The corals of the Arabian Gulf are a unique community, existing in an environment with stressors including extreme fluctuations in water temperature and high salinity. There are 44 coral species listed as either Near Threatened or Vulnerable with either decreasing or unknown population trends on the IUCN Red list for the UAE. Predominant species include the Boulder coral (Porites spp), and Branching coral (Acropora coral). Corals form critical habitat for many species including reef dwelling fish species and the critically endangered Hawksbill Turtle. Unfortunately, with all the pressures they face less than half the coral reefs in the waters of Abu Dhabi contain living corals, the total estimated area of corals in Abu Dhabi emirate being estimated at 310.66 km2.
