About this audio guide
This guide to the National Aquarium Abu Dhabi traces back to 2020, when divers coaxed a stranded young whale shark from a hotel lagoon and towed it more than twenty kilometers back to open water, fitting it with a satellite tag before release. It turns to the aquarium's working veterinary hospital, where sea turtles stunned by winter cold snaps are treated, tagged and released back into the Gulf. Pause at the reef shark tank ahead, the same species those trackers keep following.
