Fisheries
The waters of the Arabian Gulf, its islands, coastlines and fisheries are of fundamental importance to the people of Abu Dhabi Emirate, the UAE and the region. Historically, the emirate’s fishery resources sustained the population. Fishing and harvesting marine resources was integral to their survival, with the sea linking Abu Dhabi Emirate to the Arabian Gulf region and the rest of the world. Whether on the coast or inland, all life in the emirate and wider UAE was fundamentally connected to fishery resources and the maritime domain.
