History
The Palm Jumeirah was constructed by dredging and reclamation starting in the early 2000s by Nakheel to expand Dubai’s coastline and tourism footprint.
Conservation
Reclamation altered marine habitats; local efforts now focus on monitoring coastal health and managing boat traffic to reduce impact on native species.
