"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)
