Hi Debra,

Ahlan wa sahlan! Welcome to Oman! I worked on the first Masirah Fesitval in 2010 and it was a very challenging yet rewarding trip; I was very proud of my team’s work with the Islanders and we got a great response from the children. If you’re interested to find out more on Oman’s environmental scene check out the ESO’s website http://www.eso.org.om/ or you can contact me.

Best regards,
Elayne

My husband is working for a Swiss Company for RAFO. Therefore we live on the Military base in one of the houses closest to the beach. It is very very sad to see how polluted this Island is. The amount of rubble that is just thrown around and being wash out. This must be one of the biggest projects to keep the Island clean and safe for the turtles and other animal species. If there is anything I can contribute or help with I would love to. Best regards Debra

Now we all need to safely recycle 100% of our human-generated waste materials, and peacefully reduce our human population with family planning programs. Then the weather will return to normal and the turtles live their lives in peace.
