The Environment Department in Musandam Governorate launched the series “Khalid’s Journey in a Sea of Stories” under the “My Environment” initiative, according to a report published by Oman newspaper on 30 October 2026. The launch took place at the Musandam Centre for Culture and Innovation in Khasab, with educators and school students participating. The report did not specify the date of the event.
The series aims to introduce children to the governorate’s marine life through accessible stories about species and their habitats, connecting environmental knowledge with everyday behaviour. Its themes include dolphins and whales, as well as the harm that waste and abandoned fishing nets can cause at sea.
The report cited the initiative’s organisers as saying that characters and story situations are intended to make information relevant to children’s interests and encourage them to think about their responsibility towards nature. The programme also introduced the role of protected areas in conserving marine biodiversity.
The initiative offers a starting point for cooperation between environmental institutions, schools and families. However, the report provides no measurement of the series’ effect on children’s knowledge or behaviour. It also gives no date for a wider rollout in schools or details of how the public can obtain the stories.
