Hamour are the UAE's favourite fish! Making it ever so important that we protect them. Did you know that they reproduce in a very special way? A young Hamour will first mature as female but can then change to male as they grow. This is one of the reasons why they are vulnerable to overfishing: there are naturally more females than males in the population, but fishing reduces the number of males even more, making it hard for the stock to be renewed .
EWS-WWF is a national leading environmental NGO. EWS-WWF works at the federal level to conserve biodiversity and promote sustainable living through education and conservation initiatives.
