This is a sight no-one wants to see.

Numerous stingrays have been spotted drifting ashore on Sunset Beach. Dubai resident Claire Falconer shared the heartbreaking videos on her ‘gram stories. It looks like the rays were caught in nets and thrown back into the sea.

Eight stingrays were spotted – some dead and some clinging for life

Claire contacted Dubai authorities and praised Dubai Voluntary Diving Team, Azraq and local authorities for their quick action.
