The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MoCCAE) has started installing artificial caves in the fishing waters off the Ras Al Khaimah coast. The project is part of an agreement with the Delma Marine to build artificial habitats that provide a safe environment for breeding of fish and other marine species, according to a senior official. Salah Al Rayssi, director of the fisheries sustainability department at the ministry, said the move aims to enhance fish stocks in the UAE waters and protect the country’s natural heritage.
