Found on a google maps trip to Al Jirab, Along the E11 24°05'14.0"N 53°55'27.0"E

I found this while looking for interesting places to share on the Top View community here on Lemmy

After some more research, the most likely candidates:

mangrove nurseries, salt harvesting, algae farm, coral nurseries.

But nothing yet is confirmed!

Salt harvesting?

Edit: apparently mangrove plantations.

Wouldn't they have to be inverted? Raised walls to partition and ponds in between
