Until 1978, Zirku was a refuge for [[cormorants]] and other birds until the [[Abu Dhabi National Oil Company|Zakum Development Company]] began development for oil processing. Today there are oil refining facilities, a petroleum terminal and [[Zirku Airport|an airport]] on the island. More recently, ZADCO has commissioned studies to study [[biodiversity]] on the island. According to a report from August 2015, more than 1000 people live and work on the island. Unlike about the island located about 83 kilometers southwest of [[Delma]], however, Zirku has no own freshwater resources and was therefore never naturally inhabited.<ref>[http://www.khaleejtimes.com/nation/general/an-exotic-island-you-cannot-visit Silvia Radan: An exotic island you cannot visit] (24.
