Lusail Marina Promenade

This guide to Lusail Marina Promenade in Doha follows a 2012 experiment by UNESCO and Qatar University scientists, who floated sand-filled containers planted with mangrove seeds onto the marina's still water. It traces how the first raft succeeded well enough that a second wave of eight containers followed in September 2013, drawing academics from Europe, the United States and across the Gulf to see it. The guide also covers the marina's Clean Marina accreditation, scoring in the mid nineties.
