A sad day for the Maldives a political victory for both the opposition parties and the ruling party, for All the Wrong Reasons . For those of us who work in tourism, and tell our guests “we protect sharks here,” that promise no longer holds true. With Gulper shark fisheries now

🚨 Maldives Shark Sanctuary at Risk! The gov plans to allow gulper shark exploitation from Nov 1, a move that would end Maldives’ long-standing shark sanctuary status and open the door to trading other shark species. This is a step backward for an ocean-dependent tourism

It's been a week since we deployed the #sensors at Kendhikulhudhoo. What is the data saying? 4pm is the ideal time for a relaxing swim, based on sea surface #temperature measured at 1m depth
In the process of deploying #instruments and carrying out field surveys in #Kendhikulhudhoo. The data will be used to validate observations from #multispectral and #hyperspectral satellite data

We created this problem. And now, as things begin to go wrong, instead of taking responsibility, people choose to belittle others and throw threats around. Many of us have long opposed these reckless practices because we’ve lived and coexisted in these waters for decades without

NOAA’s latest coral bleaching forecast signals a tough season ahead. As ocean temperatures climb, reefs across the tropics are at risk—some may not recover. Support the work by @mmri_maldives by reporting the status of your reefs.

Fire at Alcyon Bakery today. It was put out by @MNDF_Official Fire. Luckily it did not get worse as they are illegally storing fuel for their generators and could have been much much worse. Isn't it about time to do something about this? @PoliceMv @MaleCitymv @HomeMinistrymv
