Qatar's Waters: A Haven for Whale Sharks

 The marine scientific team from the Wildlife Development Department, in collaboration with the Marine Protection Department, has recorded a gathering of whale sharks in Qatari territorial waters, with the number exceeding 366. Qatari waters host one of the largest gatherings of these creatures in the region and the world.
