Al Wathba Wetland Reserve

Al Wathba is the first established protected area of its kind in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and the first to
be declared as a Wetland of International Importance (Ramsar Site) under the Ramsar Convention on
wetlands. The reserve supports a rich array of wildlife and many globally and locally threatened wetland
species. Since 2011, flamingos have regularly bred in Al Wathba, making it the only site in the UAE and in
the Arabian Gulf where this species regularly breeds. In total, the site counts over 260 migratory and
resident bird species, 11 mammal species, 10 reptile species and over 35 plant species. Al Wathba
Wetland Reserve offers visitors a true understanding of the importance of conservation in Abu Dhabi. It
is a complex combination of natural and man-made surface-water bodies located approximately 40 km
southeast of Abu Dhabi Island. The reserve lies north of the Musaffah - Al Ain Truck Road, and is
approximately 4.6km2. The total surface area of the main lake is approximately 132 hectares.

Evaluation of Ecological Features:

1- Size: The Reserve has a perimeter length of 3.5 km and is 1.5 km in width. According to the
UN/WCPA1, only protected areas of over 1000 ha (10 km2) can be included within the UN
Protected Areas list. Al Wathba is therefore currently too small to qualify without further
expansion of the site. However, Al Wathba Wetland Reserve has such a high conservation value
that it may be included under Important Wetland Areas within the IUCN list.
On the other hand, the smaller size makes management of the reserve easier in terms of
logistics and cost, and can concentrate management efforts toward an effective means of
conservation, eco-tourism, and education.
2- Diversity: Although the site is small in size, it is still host to a wide variety of biodiversity
including threatened species at a local, national, regional, and global level. The site is considered
to have high biodiversity in term of mosaic habitats and the abundance of species that are using
these habitats.
3- Naturalness: Al Wathba Wetland Reserve is a combination of natural and man-made
environments. Some of the major factors to impact on the natural environment are the
discharge of treated effluent, agricultural activities, sand dunes formation, and site management
activities.
4- Rarity: The presence of different habitats and different vegetation types within the reserve
boundaries has attracted many species, some of them of regional importance. Of particular note
is the avifauna of the site. Nine species of bird that occur at Al Wathba Wetlands Reserve are
particularly important since they are listed as regionally important species with >1% of the
breeding population in the Middle East. These include the Greater Flamingo, Black-winged Stilt
 and Kentish Plover. Of these, the Black-winged Stilt population at Al Wathba is equal to about
1% (250 non-breeding birds) for the Middle East Region as a whole.
5- Fragility: The reserve exhibits high fragility and sensitivity due to its small size and the harsh
climatic conditions that occur in the area, in addition to the water fluctuation as it is mostly
dependant on and artificial sources of water that can be influenced by volume and quality.
For example, the increase of water level within certain areas in the reserve may lead to the
destruction of nesting sites of the Flamingo. Changing the physical conditions of the water may
cause a serious impact on the aquatic fauna. Increasing or decreasing the water salinity above or
below certain limits may affect the living conditions for the Brine Shrimp (Artemia), which is the
major food source for the Greater Flamingo.
The fragility of the type of land like the sand dune is also obvious. Off-road driving on sand
dunes causes disturbances to the reptiles and plants that are sensitive to any dramatic change in
their habitat conditions. Of particular note are the fossilized sands that occur within the site
which are particularly susceptible to damage from off-road driving. Further research is required
concerning certain species and their habitat requirements.
6- Typicalness: The reserve is a man-made site, which does not as a whole represent natural
habitats or ecosystems within the Abu Dhabi emirate. However, elements of the site such as the
sabkha (22ha), fossilised sands (4ha) and sand dunes (119ha) are of typical habitats that exist in
Abu Dhabi.
7- Potential for Improvement: The reserve has real potential to improve in several of the following
aspects:

Education and Awareness

There is great demand from schools, universities and colleges to visit Al Wathba Wetland
Reserve as part of their educational curriculum. Due to the current lack of facilities and
infrastructure, school trips to the reserve are limited. There is tremendous scope for Al Wathba
to serve as a first class educational resource.

Eco-tourism and recreation

Due to its size and location, the site had potential for ecotourism, especially if well promoted for
bird watching activities and recreation during the winter. There is already demand from local
tour operators and tourism companies to visit the reserve, mainly for bird watching activities, as
part of their tourism programme.

Research

The site has significant potential to aid in the research of hydrology, aquatic invertebrates and
ornithology. This could be integrated within university curricula as research projects.

In order to expand its facilities the reserve would need to improve the following aspects:

Zoning: Management of visitor pressure, yet still allowing visitors to see features of interest, is a
major task of protected areas management. The zoning plan (Map 2) highlights those areas that
are particularly sensitive to disturbance from visitors and where care is required in allowing
 unrestricted access. There are also hazards on site such as quicksand which would also require
special visitor management..

The wetland reserve is divided into five zones as following:

Zone 1 – Core Area, very restricted activity due to very high ecological importance. This may be
seasonal as in the case of the flamingo nesting grounds. Normally visitors will be excluded from
these areas, although they will be able to view them from a distance.

Zone 2 – Buffer Area, restricted activity, high ecological importance. These buffers serve to
protect the core areas and also to make visitors aware of the sensitivity of the site to
disturbance.

Zone 3 – Visitor Area, strictly controlled access and activity. Visitor pressure will be closely
monitored in these areas in order to assess the level of impact. If it is too great then these areas
may be closed to visitors to allow them to recover.

Zone 4 –Visitor Area, access controlled

Zone 5 – Visitor Area, open access.

Biological Features

The Al Wathba Wetland Reserve, although man-made, is an important wetland area within a
largely hyper arid environment. Presence of a range of water from hypersaline to brackish to
fresh, and of varying depths, provides a range of habitats for different species of birds. With
more than 250 species of birds, some of them nationally and regionally important, the reserve is
an important area for the conservation of birds. It’s the only site where Greater Flamingos have
bred successfully more than once in the last two years.

Flora: Of the 37 species of plants recorded in the proposed site (Brown et al 2005), the three
dominant species in the reserve are Cyperus conglomeratus, Haloxylon salicornicum, and
Zygophyllum qatarense. The parasitic plants, Cistanche tubulosa and Cynomorium coccineum,
are a common sight after rain in the winter. The sand sheets and low dunes support the majority
of plant communities, and these are the Cyperus conglomeratus community, Haloxylon
salicornicum-Cyperus conglomeratus community, Zygophyllum qatarense community and
Haloxylon persicum community. The marshy areas and standing water is dominated by
Phragmites australis community. Furthermore, some areas with more moisture, such as in
depressions, are dominated by the Aeluropus lagopoides community. The Haloxylon persicum
community in Al Wathba is of biogeographical importance, as this is the most eastern
distribution of the species in the Arabian Peninsula. Full Plant Species checklist.

Fauna (excluding birds): A key non-avifaunal species is the Brine Shrimp (Artemia spp.) since this
is the main food source for the Greater Flamingo. It is important that the site is managed so as
to maximise the biomass of Artemia and thereby provide sufficient food for the Flamingos.

There are at least 6 species of dragonflies and damselflies at Al Wathba – full checklist of
invertebrates. The site is possibly one of the best for dragonflies in Abu Dhabi as it offers a high
 degree of variability within habitat types and can thus provide niches for less competitive
species. Appendix 1. Mammals Species recorded in WWR.

Avifauna: With more than 250 species of birds recorded in the area, birds remain the single
most important element of the wetland biodiversity. The first ever breeding of flamingos in
1998-1999 led to the establishment of the area as a protected area and was an important
conservation landmark. The Greater Flamingo remains the flagship species and one of the most
important species at the site. Regular breeding in 2011 (Khan et al. 2011) and 2012 continues to
highlight the importance of the reserve for the Greater Flamingos. The reserve also hosts one of
the biggest concentrations of breeding Kentish Plovers and is also a site where Avocets breed.
The Savis’ Pygmy Shrew is kown to live only at a few sites in the country, including Al Wathba –
