TL;DR: The Cochlodinium species responsible for a severe and widespread HAB in the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman that has lasted for more than eight months at this writing, killing thousands of tons of fish and limiting traditional fishery operations, damaging coral reefs, impacting coastal tourism, and forcing the closure of desalination plants in the region is reported on.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the findings from 55 papers about metal concentrations in Gulf fish and identifies 13 fish species with the potential to serve as bioindicators of metal contamination for use in four Gulf habitats: pelagic, benthopelagic, demersal, and coral reefs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used satellite-derived and in-situ water quality parameters from nine key reef environments in the UAE from 2011 to 2014 to model coral patterns and realistically predict coral damage intensity with changing environmental variables.

TL;DR: Human activities and coastal development driven by economic growth in countries bordering the Arabian Gulf have increased marine pollution, including eutrophication as discussed by the authors, and in response to growing concerns, the authors of this paper have proposed a new approach.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify an existing water quality index methodology that could be used in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, and apply the index to Abu Dhab, Abu Dhabi.
