Atlantis Dubai announces the selection of seven local and international conservation and sustainability projects set to receive funding from the Atlantis Atlas Project Contribution Programme 2025-26 cycle. From June 2024 to May 2025, for every green meeting event and marine animal experience participated in by a guest, Atlantis Dubai contributed a portion of earnings, resulting in a $123,000 (USD) fund, which aims to support projects that help protect the ocean and our environment. Since the programme was launched in 2021, the initiative has now raised over half a million dollars ($509,000) and supported 30 projects.

Since April, organisations around the world have been invited to apply for funding, after which proposals were assessed against their contributions to scientific advancement, conservation, and sustainability by the internal Atlantis Dubai Conservation & Science Committee. Atlantis Atlas Project currently focuses on four key groups of wildlife: sharks, rays, dolphins, and coral reefs, and a key threat to their existence in the wild; marine pollution. This year, the Contribution Programme will continue to support six organisations from previous years, as well as welcoming one new organisation.
