environmental impact of marine sports and adopting sustainable practices supports our strategic plans
and objectives to develop this type of sport and take it to the global stage.’ He added: ‘This partnership
is in line with the UAE’s efforts in the field of sustainability through its pioneering initiatives and projects
that reflect the country’s strong values of preserving the environment.
Maryam Al Mansoori, Founder and General Manager of Rebound Ltd., expressed her enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating, “By forging this partnership, we are embarking on a journey to implement impactful initiatives that underscore our dedication to environmental conservation. The Awards signify the beginning of our collective efforts to drive meaningful change.”
Upcoming Initiatives

Both organizations are excited to unveil upcoming projects that will not only advance their shared goals but also reinforce their commitment to environmental sustainability.
