asking for your cooperation to ensure that:
- Safety and security requirements are met to provide a safe and healthy environment for beach and water recreation activities
- The natural coastal environment and seawater quality is protected and respected
- The City’s coastline and beaches continue to being a major tourist attraction whilst achieving environmental protection and sustainable development in the Emirate of Dubai
