Whatever Floats Your Boat is renowned for the whacky designs and resourceful recycling as teams race to give back to the environment.
Along with generating awareness for the initiative, a donation of AED 5000 will be provided by each competing company, with every Dirham raised going directly to the Emirates Wildlife Society in association with World Wide Fund for Nature.
The ( EWS-WWF) plans on using the funds raised to support the ongoing conservation of a critically endangered species of turtle, native to the UAE.
Last year’s event raised AED 100,000 for charity to help the EMEG protect the critically endangered turtles.
The event is open to anyone who wishes to come and support the teams.
