Mangal forests – more commonly known as Mangroves – are an integral part of the UAE’s rich heritage and ecosystem.
However, little is known by us about the importance, the wildlife, and the history of the Mangroves.
‘The Eco Paddle’ is an initiative launched by Noukhada and plasticfreeuae to add a fun twist to learning. With the help of an assigned guide, individuals are taken through the Eastern Mangroves, on a two hour kayaking trip, and are taught everything there is to know about them.
You can kayak through the Eastern Mangroves located in Abu Dhabi, experience the calm of the sea, dwell in the gracefulness of the mangroves and learn and discuss about the history, benefits and importance of these forests.
