Uae Dolphin Project

The UAE Dolphin Project is a non-profit initiative dedicated to investigating the dolphin population along the coastline of the United Arab Emirates. We aim to promote the conservation of these dolphin species and the local marine environment. This is achieved through work in 3 main areas: scientific research, public awareness campaigns, and educational programs involving both public and private sectors. As the first project monitoring coastal dolphins in the whole Arabian Gulf, it is a pioneering undertaking. It entails the collaboration of national and international, private and public institutions and organizations. Learn more about the project and view our dolphin sighting map at
