QATAR University’s (QU) Environmental Science Center (ESC) and ExxonMobil Research Qatar (EMRQ) have signed a cooperation agreement to launch a detailed environmental study project for Doha Corniche.
This study represents the first attempt to understand the ecosystem and potential pollutants in this region, which is the heart of the city of Doha and is frequented by citizens and residents on a daily basis.
The Doha Corniche area contains many important marine organisms, but intense human activity in the region has led to a gradual deterioration of the quality of life and water. For this reason, the study aims to monitor harmful changes and suggest ways to restore and develop the ecosystem of this vital area.
Director of the ESC Prof Hamad al Saad al Kuwari stressed the importance of the project in improving environment and restoring marine biodiversity in the area.
He said, "This project complements the ongoing efforts of our centre’s researchers, who work to preserve the environmental heritage of the State of Qatar.”
Research Director at ExxonMobil Research Qatar (EMRQ) Dr Mohamad Yacoub al Sulaiti, who was also present at the agreement signing said: "Through this, we aim to carry out comprehensive assessment of the environmental situation in Doha’s Corniche. The centre has been a leader in environmental research in the State and we are thrilled to be contributing to these ongoing efforts.”
