Pupils from The Arbor School in Dubai have teamed up with a restaurant group for the Dubai Oyster Project.
They are using used oyster shells from The Maine restaurants in Dubai, which are usually just thrown out and end up in landfills, to create artificial reefs.
They placed more than 250,000 of the used shells near the Ghantoot border.
They used illegal fishing nets seized by authorities to help transport the shells to the water's edge.
The project will also help to reduce the amount of food waste.
