Al-Jaidah: “we ensure that Gewan Island maintains water quality standards, setting a benchmark for sustainable waterfront developments in the region.”
Doha, Qatar – February 24, 2025 – United Development Company (UDC), proudly announces the commissioning of real-time continuous seawater monitoring stations around Gewan Island. The launch took place in the presence of delegates from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MOECC).
This initiative aligns with UDC’s strategic environmental objectives, ensuring compliance with marine ecosystem regulations and enabling data-driven decision-making. The stations will continuously monitor water quality parameters such as temperature, pH levels, dissolved oxygen, turbidity (water clarity), salinity, and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), providing vital data to support marine conservation efforts with plan to collaborate more parameters in future strengthening the monitoring regime.
These monitoring stations play a crucial role in ensuring the long-term sustainability of Gewan Island’s marine ecosystem and are an important step in enhancing UDC’s ability to take effective actions based on accurate data to ensure water sustainability at Gewan Island.
In this regard, UDC’s CEO, Mr. Yasser Al-Jaidah, stated, “At United Development Company, sustainability is at the core of our development strategy. The commissioning of these real-time monitoring stations underscores our unwavering commitment to environmental protection and marine conservation. By leveraging state-of-the-art technology, we ensure that Gewan Island maintains water quality standard, setting a benchmark for sustainable waterfront developments in the region.”
This initiative reflects UDC’s leadership in sustainable urban development, and SDGs and environmental stewardship, reinforcing its role in executing innovative projects aimed at ensuring long-term environmental sustainability. It highlights the company's efforts to protect natural resources and enhance biodiversity in the region, further establishing Gewan Island as a leading environmental destination.
United Development Company provides the Biodiversity Map of The Pearl Island as an innovative tool aimed at highlighting the island's rich environmental diversity. The map offers a comprehensive view of the diverse range of living organisms inhabiting its various ecosystems, from marine life to terrestrial wildlife. Through this map, the community and visitors can explore vital areas that host rare and endangered species. The map is designed to raise environmental awareness, support sustainable practices, and contribute to the conservation of the island’s ecosystem. It also encourages visitors to adopt environmentally responsible behaviors, enhancing efforts to protect and sustain biodiversity in the long term.
The Pearl Island takes pride in its sustainable waste management system, which has achieved a recycling rate of 36%, reflecting the island's commitment to environmental protection and promoting sustainability practices. This milestone is an important step towards reducing environmental impact and fostering a recycling culture among residents and visitors. Meanwhile, Gewan Island boasts a state-of-the-art waste management system that employs the latest technologies to minimize environmental waste, while actively encouraging recycling through proper infrastructure and awareness initiatives that support the conservation of natural resources.
UDC continues to adopt cutting-edge technologies and environmental practices in all its projects, aiming to achieve a sustainable balance between urban development and the preservation of natural environments, ensuring a healthy and safe ecosystem for future generations.
