A Gentle Giant Lost: Dugong's Death Highlights Marine Dangers

In cooperation with the Ministry of Municipality 🏛️, represented by Al Wakra Municipality 🏖️, a dead dugong (sea cow) 🐋 that was entangled in a fishing net 🎣 was recovered on the beach of the Old Al Wakra Market.

The specialized teams from the Ministry 🚛 transported it to the Sealine area 🏝️ to take the necessary samples 🧪 and conduct relevant scientific studies 📊 to support efforts to protect this type of marine creature 🐾. It was then buried 🪦 according to the applicable environmental procedures 🌱. The Ministry also called on fishermen 🎣 and sea-goers 🚤 not to leave abandoned nets 🪢, as they pose a danger ⚠️ to marine life 🌊 and may lead to their death 💀
