Description: This dataset represents Coastal Sabkha derived through Satellite Image processing. Status: Environmentally Sensitive within Abu Dhabi emirate. Location: The distribution of this habitat type can be found from the Western Region with the border of Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia, where it follows the coast to the Abu Dhabi / Dubai border. The largest, most continuous area of this habitat is found from Abu Dhabi city mainland, to Mirfa, however, other large expanses of this habitat type can also be found in the far Western Region, near the border with Saudi Arabia. Description: Coastal sabkha is salt-encrusted desert close to the coast covering wide expanses. It is devoid of vegetation due to the high salinity of the substrate. Halophytes, however, may occur where there is a thin carpeting of sand on the surface. Abu Dhabi’s coastal sabkha are some of the best documented in the world, with the sabkha south of Al Dabbi’ya and Abu Al Abyadh Islands, the only complete sabkha in the world that represents the four main distinctive layers of sabkha, together in one site. While not a traditional Blue Carbon ecosystem, historic soil carbon stocks in Coastal sabkha are likely to have a Blue Carbon origin. When these ecosystems are destroyed, buried carbon can be released into the atmosphere, which subsequently contributes to global warming.
