…. about ocean pollution, threats and how dolphins can be used as ecological indicators to understand the status of the sea.

Year 4 and 5 at Emirates International School Meadows are studying how humans affect the environment and the effects of pollution in different environments this term, so they invited the UAE Dolphin Project to know what we had to say about the subject.

We were thrilled to talk to the children! They were all extremely enthusiastic and asked some wonderful questions about dolphins and whales. I think the next generation of eco warriors will be a force to be reckoned with!

It really is wonderful to see the younger generations get excited about marine life and conservation! It is so important for us to encourage their eagerness to improve and conserve the local wildlife here in the UAE. Keep up the great work and thank you for having us!
