To understand and preserve our marine ecosystems, Fujairah Research Center, and Atlantis, have joined forces, utilizing cutting-edge environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis to unravel the mysteries hidden beneath the surface of Fujairah's coastal waters. This collaborative effort represents a groundbreaking approach to marine biodiversity assessment. Traditional marine surveys often rely on time-consuming and invasive methods. Enter environmental DNA analysis — a non-intrusive technique that allows researchers to examine genetic material present in water samples. In Fujairah City, this approach provides a unique lens into the diverse marine life inhabiting its coastal waters. Fujairah Research Centre and Atlantis have embarked on a comprehensive biodiversity mapping project. By collecting marine water samples and extracting environmental DNA, researchers can identify a myriad of species, from fish and invertebrates to microscopic organisms. This method allows for a more accurate and holistic understanding of the marine ecosystem's health. Fujairah City faces the ongoing challenge of invasive species disrupting its marine balance. The eDNA analysis proves instrumental in early detection, enabling timely intervention strategies to mitigate the impact of invaders on native species and ecosystems. Researchers are using eDNA analysis to monitor environmental health indicators, such as water quality and pollution levels. This broader perspective aids in creating targeted conservation and restoration plans to ensure the sustainability of Fujairah's coastal waters. The partnership between Fujairah Research Center and Atlantis, fueled by the potential of environmental DNA analysis, is reshaping marine research in Fujairah. By unlocking the secrets hidden within marine water samples, this collaboration not only contributes to our understanding of local biodiversity but also lays the foundation for informed conservation and management strategies, ensuring the health and resilience of Fujairah coastal ecosystems.
