"We have implemented several measures to mitigate the risks posed by climate change
               and rising sea levels, closely monitoring changes on both sides of the creek. Furthermore,
               we have conducted technical studies to devise construction designs that can enhance the
               efficiency of the marine docks on both banks.

               These designs adhere to the highest global standards, ensuring the preservation of the
               supporting walls' stability and safeguarding against increased flooding during seasonal
               weather conditions." Al Hajri added.

               Comprehensive work: The project's 14-month timeline includes the restoration of the 2.1
               km Deira pier, which involves replacement and the rehabilitation of damaged sections of
               the concrete wall, reaching a depth of 8 meters and increasing its height to 3 meters.
               These improvements aim to ensure the safe docking of ships in the area.


               By initiating this project, the Municipality aims to enhance services and facilities for safe
               docking  and  navigation,  which  will  be  ensured  through  the  provision  of  200  anchors
               across the dock.
               Dubai Creek is one of the most vital historic maritime channels in the Emirate, marking
               the initiation of Dubai's trade interactions with the world over a century ago.

               Despite  the  extensive  development  in  the  Emirate  of  Dubai,  the  Creek  continues  to
               maintain its historical, commercial, and economic importance, along with modern projects
               prevalent in the emirate, in addition to serving as a significant tourist hub for residents,
               visitors, and tourists. (ANI/WAM)
