We were proud to be part of the Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project Sea Turtle Release in recognition of World Sea Turtle Day. 🐢🌊

Witnessing rehabilitated sea turtles return to the Arabian Gulf was an inspiring reminder of the importance of conservation, collaboration, and long-term commitment to protecting our environment.

It was also wonderful to connect with colleagues from across the region, including members of the SeaWorld Yas Island rehabilitation team and several Certified Autism Center™ partners. Seeing so many partners come together reinforced the value of strong relationships and collaboration in creating meaningful impact within our communities. 🤝

Thank you to Jumeirah for the invitation and for supporting initiatives that protect marine life while bringing organizations together around a shared purpose.
