Abu Dhabi To Boost Coastal Conservation With ADNOC And EAD Partnership
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) have joined forces to develop a secure electronic information-sharing system for collecting and analysing marine water quality data.
This initiative aims to improve environmental monitoring and conservation efforts across Abu Dhabi's coastal areas. The system will enable ADNOC to share comprehensive, up-to-date marine water quality data with EAD, allowing them to monitor changes in environmental conditions and assess the impact of human activities on coastal ecosystems.
The information-sharing system will facilitate collaboration and knowledge sharing among different stakeholders, promoting a unified approach to environmental protection and conservation. Faisal Al Hammadi, Executive Director of the Environmental Quality Sector at EAD, emphasised the importance of data-driven decision-making in enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of environmental policies and conservation efforts.
Amir Gerges, Chief Health, Safety and Environment Officer at ADNOC, highlighted the partnership's role in supporting Abu Dhabi's commitment to sustainable development by monitoring key data parameters in water quality and assessing the overall health of marine life across coastal areas.
EAD's Enviroportal will be used to ensure secure and efficient data transmission between EAD and ADNOC. The portal provides access to various environmental data points such as geology, soils, flora, fauna, marine habitats, and protected zones within Abu Dhabi. By enabling swift response to potential pollution incidents and preventive measures, this robust environmental data-sharing programme showcases Abu Dhabi as a forward-thinking leader in sustainability.
