EFS-ZHO cooperation resulted in integrating and supporting the participation of people of determination in environmental activities and events in general, he noted.It is worth noting that the Avicennia forests, which cover tens of kilometres of land along the coastline of the UAE, are part and parcel of the coastal ecosystems in the UAE and represent rich and safe natural habitats for the breeding of several types of fish.The Avicennia trees are an environmental treasure, as they enjoy tremendous economic and biological importance for containing plenty of marine organisms, and also serve as the only natural incubator for shrimp. Meanwhile, they protect the beaches from erosion and are used as a shelter for nesting birds.
