Doha: A
special team from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change has conducted
a field visit to the whale shark aggregation site in Qatar's northeastern
waters to review ongoing monitoring activities and assess the condition of the
site and the safety of its natural habitats.
The visit forms part of the ministry's efforts to preserve marine biodiversity and ensure the protection of one of the region's most important seasonal wildlife phenomena. Whale sharks, the world's largest fish species, gather annually in large numbers in Qatari waters, making the area a significant ecological and scientific site. During the visit, the team toured the aggregation area and reviewed monitoring mechanisms and protection measures implemented to safeguard whale sharks and their habitats.
