A testimony to the strength and beauty of nature, Bu Tinah surprises you with an explosion of life and colour. The island’s unique habitat and species includes coral reefs, sea turtles, and the amazing dugong - a gentle dolphin-like creature that grazes on sea grass. A cousin of the famous Manatee that inhabits Florida, the dugong is thought to be the origin of the legend of the mermaid.
Bu Tinah Island is nominated to be one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. The Island was shortlisted among 28 finalists from a list of 447 natural sites around the world, of which 7 will be declared the New 7 Wonders of Nature on November 11, 2011.
EAD launched an international campaign to encourage people to vote for Bu Tinah Island, as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. The campaign was launched under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Ruler’s Representative in the Western Region and Chairman of EAD.
Bu Tinah, located around 130 km west of Abu Dhabi, is a unique island and a core area of the Marawah Marine Biosphere Reserve - the first marine biosphere reserve in the region. In spite of the harsh temperatures and salinity, its habitats and species, including mangroves, dolphins and the Socotra Cormorant bird, continue to thrive, making the island an important location and living lab for climate change studies.
