The Arabian Gulf is blessed with amazing marine life, including dugongs, dolphins, turtles, sharks, and almost 500 different species of fish. In a five-part poster series Oasis takes a closer look at these animals. In the final week, we focus on fish. With the help of a local marine biologist, we provide some surprising facts about these creatures, highlight identifying features and give tips on how UAE residents can help protect them.

In previous weeks, we've seen sea turtles, dolphins, dugongs, and whale sharks.
