The gray mangrove (Avicennia marina (Forssk) Vierh) constructs one of Bahrain's most critical ecosystem, severly deteriorating, which has been severely deteriorated by increasing anthropogenic pressures. This study aimed to assess the spatiotemporal changes in habitat around Tubli Bay, Kingdom Bahrain, over last 50 years through achieving following: (1) detect progressive reduction cover using Geographic Information Science and Systems (GISs) techniques remote sensing data, (2) estimate...
Seagrass ecosystems in Bahrain contribute significantly to the productivity of local fisheries and provide food sources nursery grounds for vulnerable species. However, these are under continuous threats from anthropogenic pressures, including reclamation dredging, industrial effluents, domestic discharges, brine water desalination plants. Surveying seagrass beds associated macro-fauna is required management conservation effort sensitive ecosystems. Macrobenthic assemblages were sampled two...
Abstract Predictable aggregations of large marine mammals are valuable conservation targets, but aggregated populations can also be exposed to site‐level threats. The globally vulnerable Dugong dugon has a wide distribution is found in numbers mainly Australia and the Arabian Gulf. Though Australian dugong well studied, much less known dugongs spatial temporal persistence around Bahrain, with focus on groups (>50 dugongs), was determined using an occupancy modelling framework supported by...
Extensive home ranges of marine megafauna present a challenge for systematic conservation planning because they exceed spatial scales conventional management. For elusive species like dugongs, their management is additionally hampered by paucity basic distributional information across much range. The Red Sea to wide-spread, globally important but data-poor population dugongs. We surveyed the north-eastern in waters NEOM, Kingdom Saudi Arabia, locate feeding sites and determine priority areas...
