More than 3 tonnes of waste were extracted from the water canal connecting Al Zahiyah and Al Maryah Island, as part of a cleaning initiative spearheaded by Abu Dhabi Municipality in partnership with various organizations. The waste was subsequently transported to designated disposal sites by the Recycling Group, adhering to the highest health and environmental standards, according to the authority.
This collaborative effort is designed to safeguard the marine ecosystem and maintain the visual charm of Abu Dhabi’s waterfront and islands. Additionally, the campaign focused on protecting fish populations from waste that harms the marine environment and public health, while also enhancing the urban aesthetics of Abu Dhabi’s facilities, beaches, and waterfronts.
The campaign was successfully carried out in collaboration with the National Guard, Abu Dhabi Civil Defence Authority, Community Policing (We Are All Police), Abu Dhabi Ports Group, Recycling Group, Abu Dhabi Marine Sports Club, Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange, Dubai Volunteer Diving, Ocean Diving Center, Al Awal Diving Center, Amity, and a group of dedicated volunteers.
