In a pioneering scientific achievement that reinforces the presence of University of Khorfakkan in advanced marine research, Sharjah Marine Sciences Research Center (SMSRC) at the university has announced the launch of the Sharjah Marine Observatory (SMO). The observatory serves as an advanced scientific platform contributing to the development of environmental studies and a deeper understanding of marine ecosystem dynamics along the UAE’s eastern coast. The first phase of the project included the deployment of the marine monitoring station (S1) within the Al Qalqali Marine Reserve in Khorfakkan, located one kilometer offshore at a depth of up to 30 meters. A comprehensive set of field operations was carried out, including seabed visual surveys using a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), temperature profiling throughout the water column, and the collection of water and sediment samples for high-precision analysis based on multiple environmental indicators. The project also features a continuous monitoring program supported by regular weekly field visits, enhancing the quality of research outputs and supporting evidence-based environmental decision-making. Ongoing efforts under the project align with strategic development plans, reflecting the University’s commitment to its scientific and research role in protecting marine environments. The initiative further strengthens the university’s position as an active regional hub for scientific knowledge production, contributing to the sustainability of natural resources and the promotion of ecological balance.

As part of its commitment to attracting global expertise and fostering scientific dialogue on pressing environmental issues, Sharjah Marine Science Research Center (SMSRC), affiliated with University of Khorfakkan, organized a scientific seminar entitled “Hypoxia and Marine Life” The seminar was delivered by Professor John Spicer, a specialist in marine biology at University of Plymouth in the United Kingdom, and was attended by a number of academics, researchers, and university students interested in marine and environmental sciences. The seminar addressed the growing environmental challenges facing marine ecosystems, particularly the phenomenon of environmental oxygen depletion and its profound impacts on marine organisms. It also highlighted advanced scientific research findings that demonstrate how marine life responds to these changes from molecular and genetic levels, through physiological and functional processes, to large-scale effects on marine communities and ecosystems. The seminar concluded with a discussion of proposed scientific and research-based solutions to mitigate the effects of Hypoxia, strategies for monitoring and early prediction of such phenomena, and the role of applied research in supporting marine biodiversity conservation efforts and enhancing the sustainability of marine resources.
