The Arabian Gulf is blessed with amazing marine life, including dugongs, dolphins, turtles and sharks, not to mention 500 species of fish. In the third of our five-part poster series, Oasis takes a closer look at a different marine animal - this week it is dugongs. With the help of a local marine biologist (see box below), we provide some surprising facts about these creatures, highlight identifying features and give tips on how UAE residents can help protect them.
Next week we look at sharks.
