Under the supervision of EAD, the National Aquarium will ensure that the programme runs at the highest possible standard.
Soon, the sanctuary will be accessible to visitors of Louvre Abu Dhabi who wish to know more about the programme.
The release of the sea turtles comes as a measure to contribute to Abu Dhabi’s environment conservation efforts and sustainable living.
