COVID-19 reduced emissions: Rough-toothed dolphins sighted in Red Sea

COVID-19 reduced emissions: Rough-toothed dolphins sighted in Red Sea

A pod of five rare dolphins was sighted yesterday 22 June, and earlier for over two hours on 17 June in the Red Sea waters north of Hurghada, the Ministry of Environment announced. The dolphins belong to the Rough-Toothed Dolphins species which is mainly characterised by conical heads, slender noses, and distinctive teeth. Rough Toothed Dolphins live in deep, warm, tropical waters. In 2018, a pod of 10 Rough-Toothed Dolphins was spotted in the open sea near Hurghada for 15 minutes.

According to Yasmine Fouad, Egypt’s Minister of Environment, the recurring sighting of the same species at the same time of the year and over a longer duration reflects the positive outcome of reduced human activity on marine life. Fouad explained that the suspension of the movement of motor boats and therefore the reduction of carbon emissions and the absence of vibrations has helped ecosystems regain their balances, and has had a positive impact on the marine environment.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
