The
Red Sea reserves, the Nature Protection Department of the Ministry of the
Environment, observed 11 spinner dolphins leaving the shallow water from “Marsa
Seifein” area, north of Marsa Alam city, and the survival of a large dolphin
and two baby ones, according to a statement on Friday by the Environment
Ministry regarding dolphins detected north of Marsa Alam. The ministry
confirmed that their condition is very good and there are no fears of their
presence and they have been watched on daily basis.
Since
August 25, the Red Sea reserves have detected 12 spinner dolphins in Marsa
Seifein, north of Marsa Alam, with 2 calves, where they were followed to
confirm their health and the ability to go out to open water, Until most of
them were out today.
Dr.
Ahmed Ghalab, Director General of the Red Sea Reserves, said that the
monitoring and the follow-up shows that these dolphin groups leave for open
water and return freely, need no assistance in swimming into deeper waters
during the ebb tide.
He
pointed out that these dolphins resorted to Marsa Seifein to take care and
protect their young, so that they are safe from natural predators, especially
in times of water receding, where dolphins head to the open sea, and return in
periods of high tide.
Some
of the most popular diving spots in Marsa Alam include Samadai (Dolphin House
Reef), Elphinstone Reef, Abu Dabab, Wreck of the Hamada and Sataya.
