FUJAIRAH, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES. 3 AUGUST 2020. The UAE is calling on more volunteer divers to help restore and replant coral reefs in the open waters of Fujairah. Over the next five days, teams of volunteers will take fresh coral from Dibba Fujairah Port and replant it further out at sea, about 1km from Dibba Rock, a popular diving spot in the emirate. The campaign is part of an initiative by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and Fujairah Adventure Centre to help sustain and grow marine life in UAE waters.
