The sea is the repository of the Gulf’s memory, the source of his livelihood, the space for his entertainment, and the repertoire of his aesthetics. It is history, the scent of the past, and the spirits of the ancestors. Beads of sweat and drops of precious blood mixed with its waters. This is what makes our program a response to a buried love engraved in the conscience. We all love the sea, and we must learn and teach. How do children translate feelings of love towards our marine environment into positive behavior that we become accustomed to, ensuring that our work is sustainable, that our beaches remain beautiful and clean, and that the wildlife in our bay remains diverse and thriving?
Where the public is introduced to the sea, and our duties towards the Gulf that embraces the Qatari Peninsula are defined, through many activities, including field trips, seminars, holding marine heritage festivals and marine sports, offering competitions and participating in relevant exhibitions, in all forms that suit the participants’ abilities, hobbies, inclinations and talents. And working to spread the culture of preserving the marine environment through print, audio and visual media, and through direct contact and browsing the program’s website, social networking sites, and international websites interested in the seas and beaches.
