Kuwait city: Qatar's Hamad Port has achieved a Guinness World Record for executing the largest project involving the relocation and replanting of mangrove trees.
According to Kuwait News Agency, Mwani Qatar announced that the initiative successfully relocated over 36,000 mangroves from development areas to carefully chosen coastal sites. The project also involved the transfer of thousands of coral colonies and seagrass, utilizing advanced and meticulously monitored methods to safeguard the marine ecosystem.
The initiative highlights Hamad Port's dedication to sustainable practices and aligns with Qatar National Vision 2030 (QNV 2030) by preserving biodiversity, protecting coastlines, providing marine habitats, and aiding in carbon absorption. This effort enhances the port's reputation as Qatar's smart, sustainable trade gateway.
Moreover, the statement noted that Hamad Port was previously recognized in Guinness World Records for constructing the world's deepest man-made basin.
