WWT Consulting undertook the masterplanning for a wetland visitor park located in the 6.2 sqkm Ras Al Khor Wetland Sanctuary (RAKWS) on Dubai Creek. RAKWS is an internationally important site for waterbirds and has recently been designated a Ramsar site.
This work included site surveys and assessments, the identification of target habitats and species and production of concept habitat designs for the sanctuary. The project also included the detailed design of a wetland treatment system to treat waste water from a neighbouring development, interpretation masterplanning, business and operation plans and concept design of the visitor centre.
