Abu Dhabi is deploying drones and artificial intelligence to plant 100 million mangroves by 2030. This initiative focuses on blue carbon sequestration, using autonomous systems to map coastal zones and optimize seed dispersal in hard to reach intertidal mudflats. Beyond carbon capture, these forests serve as natural breakwaters to protect infrastructure from sea level rise and storm surges. The project integrates scientific monitoring with eco tourism to fund ongoing conservation and biodiversity efforts.
