Dubai Coastal Zone Monitoring Programme
Dubai Coastal Zone Monitoring Programme is run by the Coastal Management Section of the Dubai Municipality with the principal aim of broadening our knowledge of the physical processes at work within the Dubai coastal zone. This allows the Municipality to manage the coastline of Dubai in a well-informed, factually sound manner.The monitoring programme was started in 1997 when a baseline bathymetric and topographic survey of the Jumeirah coastline was undertaken. Follow-up surveys were performed regularly over the following years and a directional wave recorder was installed to provide information on wave conditions near the coast. The programme was considerably expanded in 2002 to include the whole extent of the Dubai coast, from Al Mamzar Lagoon in the north to the Jebel Ali coast in the south. The Dubai Creek has also been included.The programme also includes a novel system of elevated video cameras for monitoring coastal changes. These cameras are located, courtesy of Jumeirah International, on the exoskeleton of the Burj Al Arab hotel and provide a unique view of the beaches from the sea.This site not only serves to provide information about the monitoring programme, it also gives access to recently recorded data through graphs and images. Captured data can also be obtained for use by coastal engineering consultants and other interested parties. If you require access to historical data you can contact the Coastal Management Section.
