The meeting explored opportunities to design dedicated programs for girls that would introduce them to the marine environment, develop their sporting and leadership skills, and enhance their participation in the UAE’s marine community.

The meeting marked an initial step toward exploring potential areas of cooperation between both parties and developing future initiatives that provide girls and young women with opportunities to learn, participate, and build self-confidence through marine sports.
