The two orcas were spotted off the coast of Abu Dhabi last Tuesday before heading to Jebel Ali and on to Umm Al Quwain, where scientists lost track of them.

The UAE has put in place laws and regulations to protect marine life from pollution, regulate activities in the marine environment, and establish protected areas for conservation and biodiversity development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not the first time:<\/strong> The same pair of orcas were previously tracked near Middle East coastlines, with wildlife organizations spotting them three times in 2017 and 2018 in Iranian waters, the experts say.
