abstract = {Most records of cetaceans in the United Arab Emirates come from relatively few studies undertaken in Arabian Gulf

waters. However, recent study off the coast of Fujairah, in the Gulf of Oman, has revealed a rich diversity of cetaceans

with 11 or more species now known to occur in the emirate. Among them are three new records for the UAE, spotted,

striped and rough-toothed dolphins, as well as infrequently recorded large whales such as sperm, Bryde’s and blue

whales. Most species are primarily distributed in offshore waters over 500 m deep, though some species, such as the

Indo-Pacific common dolphin, also regularly occur closer to shore, including within the Port of Fujairah anchorage area.

Continuing research aims to investigate the population size, status and structure of cetaceans present in waters off

Fujairah using a variety of line transect, photographic, genetic and acoustic research techniques.},
