The Coral Reefs in this region are included in the regular ongoing voluntary work of the renowned award winning Kuwait Dive Team (KDT) - a group voted by United Nations as the best in the world. KDT can provide enthusiasts with info about the local islands and marine life: www.freekuwait.org/english/index.html

Team Leader Waleed Al-Fadhel Deputy Leader Waleed Al-Shatti Jaber Al-Kuwait ReefsOne Team… One Dream
Jaber Al-Kuwait Reefs is a dedicated, voluntary work project,for the environment and people.
Jaber Al-Kuwait ReefsProject Ideal Basis:Establishing and installing concrete bulks on the sea bed with appropriate depths to locate coral reefs, fish and other creatures as well.
What are Coral Reefs?Corals are invertebrates including mollusks and callous, which are very common, as well as the non-comprising reefs (in which composition does not have reefs) and the reef composition types (composing the reef’s main structure). Coral contains in its tissues, carrageen cells which are the basic power generating source for structuring reefs.
Reference:Corals and Coral Reef Fish, Kuwait Scientific Research Institute.
Coral Reef Importance:• Sea Parks composed of wonderful marine compositions.• Food stores for seas.• One of the main factors of islands’ composition and natural protectors.• The most important life cycles of marine environment.• Shelter and refuge for fish and marine creatures.• National, Research and Tourist Resource.
Main Factors of Coral Rarity:• Geographic distance from world centre biological diversity (oceans).• Narrowness of Hermes Strait entrance limits larva-bearing saline water.• Instability of the Gulf Marine Environment.Arabian Gulf is a relatively recent marine area as water dried during the sea levels reliction twenty thousand years ago. [Gradual recession of water leaving land permanently uncovered.]
Main drives for establishing Artificial Reefs in Kuwait:• Rarity of Coral Reef composition factors.• Limitedness of coral reef prevalence area.• Natural and human destruction of coral reefs.• Success of global experiments in this field.• Promoting the Team's marine, environmental and navigational skills, as well as abilities.Aims of establishing large reefs:• Providing an environment suitable for coral growth and hosting fish.• Attracting and employing amateur divers.• Promoting the divers' awareness of monitoring coral reef growth.• Establishing a National Under-water Park.• Reduce pressure on divers' recurrent diving to natural coral reefs.
Large reefs components and description:• Containing five concrete models with a total weight of 280 tons.• 51 side pieces with a total weight of 62 tons.• 10 cubic pieces with a total weight of 62 tons.• 10 cylinder pieces with a total weight of 70 tons.• 10 compound pieces with a total weight of 60 tons.• 10 small compound pieces with a total weight of 35 tons.• Sea bed depth during high tide is 10 metres.• Reef length is approximately 300 metres.• Total area of the location is 2400 square metres.
Why Bneida Area?• A traditional diving location for Kuwaitis.• Limit of waves' level.• Location proximity to the coast.• Success of previous experiments in the same location.
Coral Reef Fish:• Coral Reef Fish are different from other species with vivid colours. They are similar to the coral reefs' colours, enabling both large and small fish to be easily concealed, which is complimentary to and essential for the reef’s life. The most prominent of these fish are Hamour, Anfouz, Emad Croop, Bride's Comb, Emad, Sheneno, Fuscar, and Burtam.Participating Authorities:• Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), Al-Ahmadi Port.• Kuwait National Petroleum Company (KNPC).• Kuwaiti Buildings and Construction Company.• Al-Khorafi Company.• Industrial Buildings and Constructions Company.• Kuwaiti Ports Institution.• Ministry of Public Works.• Ministry of Information.• Mobile Telecommunications Company (MTC).• Public Environment Authority.• Consumer Co-operative Society Union.• Tourist Enterprises Company.• Ministry of Interior (Coast Guard Department).• Public Fire Department.• Ministry of Health.
Instructions to be followed when anchoring at the Grand Reef:• Kindly use marine moorings on anchoring besides the reef.• It is not allowed to use any means of fishing except angles, snares, water guns, fishing nets or other means of fisheries.• It is not permitted to contact or touch any parts of the reefs or feed fish.• Be careful on entering into other chambers and reefs.• Ensure the safety of diving equipment.• Please follow all instructions and directives required for diving practitioners, especially from the Mate Diver.
