Oman Today   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) The multitude and frequency of greens at Ras al Hadd have led to its establishment as a nature reserve protected by the ministry and if you visit now, you must obtain a permit at the gate to the reserve (this costs RO2 and can be done on the spot). The green turtle itself is huge – the one we see is almost one metre in length and probably about 100kg; and this is just a medium sized one – the large ones can grow up to one and a half metres and weigh over 200kg. It’s interesting to wonder where it has been and where its journey is now taking it – possibly towards the beaches at Ras al Hadd to lay dozens of eggs that will most probably not survive. www.apexstuff.com /ot/200502/turtles.asp   (1456 words)

3. RESULTS FROM THE TRAWL SURVEYS 1983-84 In the other two regions, Ras al Hadd - Masirah and Sauquara and Kuria Muria banks, where the shallow water areas are limited, but with seasonally -high fish densities, the sampling programme does not allow to quantify the biomass and evaluate its contribution to the total biomass. The variations shown are expected to be due to high standard error in the sampling and to undersampling in shallow waters where fish concentrate in the high and post monsoon period. Revised estimates for the regions Ras al Hadd-Masirah and Sauquara and Kuria Muria banks, based only on the figures from the spring surveys, are 105 and 145 thousand tonnes. www.fao.org /WAIRDOCS/FNS/FN141E/ch03.htm   (2516 words)

Oman Today - Mark Evans on the second leg of his voyage around Oman Reaching Ras al Hadd in January not only saw the kayak's compass swing round to 180 degrees, but also saw a distinct change in the nature of Oman's coastline. Drawing only six centimetres of water, the kayak was able to take me to places where other boats could not go, and this was to be one of the few places on my journey where I did not see one local fishing boat, for few of them were comfortable in such waters. Moving on west from Bar al Hikman I crossed the 15km-wide bay south of Mahout island, spotting a huge whale en-route. www.apexstuff.com /ot/200512/adventure.asp   (1615 words)
