Whales and Dolphins in the Sultanate of Oman - 100 baisa

Oman's coastal waters are among the richest marine environments in the Arabian Sea, providing habitat to a remarkable variety of whales and dolphins. The issuance of this stamp promoted awareness of the country's marine biodiversity and the importance of protecting these species and their ecosystems.

Marine mammals have long been part of the natural heritage of the Sultanate. Scientific research conducted in Omani waters has documented numerous species, including humpback whales, spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, and other cetaceans. Conservation efforts help ensure the survival of these populations while supporting marine research, ecotourism, and sustainable management of the marine environment.
