What is a Mangrove Forest? Six Signs contributed by the Higher Colleges in Technology and supervised by Dr Nadia Solovieva to be exhibited during the 2017 Mangroves Festival.
Dr. Solovieva has a PhD in Geography from University College, London, and has authored and co-authored more than 30 peer-reviewed publications in the fields of global environmental change and the human impact on water environments. Her most recent research has focused on the coastal areas of the Arabian Gulf, in particular mangrove forests of Khor Al Beida in Umm al Quwain.

- being a volunteer teacher to school students at the Sharjah American International School, Umm Al Quwain Campus, and
- supervising students at the Higher Colleges of Technology to provide the 2017 Mangroves Festival with signs of significant locations in mangrove forests, in two languages: Arabic and English.
