Species conservation Ospreys ADNOC supports osprey conservation across the Abu Dhabi coastline and surrounding islands through site-based measures developed with the EAD. We maintain more than 200 purpose-built, nesting platforms, including over 150 at the Hail and Ghasha development, located based on technical surveys to align with the species’ natural behavior and habitat requirements. Where needed, active nests have been relocated from project areas to platforms outside construction zones to avoid disturbance during the breeding season. These efforts are reinforced by ongoing monitoring and adaptive management, helping to sustain breeding activity while reducing exposure to ground-based predators. In collaboration with the EAD, a wildlife emergency response program is also in place, enabling trained site teams to rescue, rehabilitate and safely release injured or distressed birds. Marine turtles ADNOC supports marine biodiversity conservation through a dedicated sea turtle conservation program focused on rescue, rehabilitation and post-release monitoring of endangered green and hawksbill turtles. ADNOC Offshore supports the protection of marine turtles on Zirku and Arzanah islands, which are among the UAE’s most significant nesting sites through a structured monitoring and management plan, that includes systematic surveys, site protection measures, targeted employee training and beach clean-up activities. We monitor nesting and hatching activity throughout the season and document our findings to inform ongoing conservation efforts. 74
