Just metres beneath the surface off Fujairah’s coast, clouds of juvenile fish darted in and out of specially designed reef structures as divers descended to examine what one marine scientist describes as the culmination of a 25-year idea. For more than two decades, marine ecologist Dr Aaron Bartholomew carried around an idea he believed could change the way artificial reefs work. The concept first took shape during his PhD research in 2001, long before conversations about biodiversity loss, climate resilience, and nature-positive infrastructure became mainstream. While many artificial reefs were designed to attract large fish, Bartholomew was focused on a…

WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump demanded on Monday that Israel and Iran “immediately stop ‘shooting’”, following a flurry of attacks that drove oil prices up around 4% and threatened to wreck US-led efforts to broker a deal to end the war. Israel hit a petrochemical plant in southwestern Iran that it said was used to produce ballistic missiles, and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it retaliated with a strike aimed at a similar Israeli facility in the city of Haifa.
