Page 11 - Whales and Dolphins

© R.Baldwin/ESO, 2017This book reveals the
different types of whales and
dolphins that are found in
Oman’s distinctive marine
environment, highlighting
their structure, behavior and
characteristics.

Their habitats and navigation
routes are brought to light
through maps and
illustrations that inform
national and international
scientific research. Like
much of ocean life, this book
underscores the current
threats faced by these
cetaceans, studying the
phenomena and causes of
their death or delinquency,
and the efforts being made by
the Environment Authority in
the Sultanate of Oman to
protect these aquatic
mammals and preserve their
habitats.
