Ocean Life - Bu Tinah: Abu Dhabi's secluded marine biosphere reserve
Ocean Life · 0:39
Bu Tinah is a tiny archipelago surrounded by vast coral formations and seagrass beds in the waters of Abu Dhabi. Located inside the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve, which spans over four thousand square kilometres as the region's first and largest UNESCO marine reserve, the island remains strictly preserved. To protect its rich wildlife, the site is closed to visitors, with ranger patrols enforcing bans on fishing and turtle egg harvesting. This secluded sanctuary offers undisturbed refuge for fragile marine species.
