Due to the increase in turtle patients at Kuda Hur

Due to the increase in turtle patients at Kuda Huraa this month our longer term patients Ari and Emma have been moved into our largest pool together. A pool divider with some small gaps has been placed between them to allow them, to get to know each other while still having their own space. Ari is way more interested in the camera than she is in Emma, whereas Emma spends all day trying to make friends with Ari 🐢💚

Love heart or ice cream cone? 🤍🍦
Did you know the each turtle has a unique pattern on their facial scutes? Guests are forever pointing out how cute the love heart shape pattern is on Ari’s head…but when someone mentioned it looked like an ice cream cone, we couldn’t un-see it! Which do you see❓❓
Ari’s particular pattern is even so striking she’s had the honor of being featured as a tattoo 🐢

Our Flying Turtles Program ✈️ #flashbackFriday

Our Flying Turtles Program ✈️ #flashbackFriday
Some of our rescue turtles are unable to be released due to the severity of their permanent injuries. Turtles suffering from long-term ‘buoyancy syndrome’ and those with missing flippers are vulnerable in the ocean and would struggle to find food.
Ongoing, we try to re-home these patients to overseas aquariums, to receive a high standard of lifelong care, and to act as global ambassadors about the threats that sea turtles face. 💚
Read our updated report, complete with photos and videos of our turtles in their new forever-homes. 💙

EMMA UPDATE🌟
Emma has been with us for over two months now and we are so proud of her progress 💙 From not eating when she first arrived to now having her huge appetite (especially for squid 🦑)!
Emma has especially been impressing us with her diving and has even managed to reach the bottom of her tank 🌟
Stay tuned for more Emma updates 💫

As I finish my #marineinternship, I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone! 💙
Kuda Huraa now feels like home, and my days are spent monitoring coral frames, caring for our injured turtles, and leading snorkel trips. I am also researching ‘sea turtle buoyancy syndrome’ to improve our rehabilitation protocols to aid more turtles in the future.

No two days are the same, and elements of the unknown are the most captivating parts of the job, along with our underwater work for calming the mind and soothing the soul.

MEET EMMA 🐢🌟
Emma was found by guests from @diamonds_thudufushi while snorkelling on their house reef. She was entangled in a big plastic bag (used for sandbags in the Maldives which are commonly found in large quantities during beach and ocean clean ups). The bag was then stuck on the reef, pinning her to the spot. She unfortunately lost her front right flipper and gained lacerations on her front left flipper and neck. Thank you to the quick actions of the @marhecenter marine lab staff who cut her free and looked after her overnight, the @diamonds_thudufushi maintenance team who made her a perfect crate for travelling, and @transmaldivian for flying her to our rehab centre.
Emma underwent surgery from our resident vet @katj_h with help from our turtle biologist @bethanywilkinson and is now recovering in her pool next to Ari.
She loves eating prawns and has already been seen trying to dive, stay tuned for updates on her progress 💫🐢

As part of the Vaavoshi Turtle Festival, @reefscap

As part of the Vaavoshi Turtle Festival, @reefscapersmaldives and @fsmaldives brought ten prize winners over to our Marine Discovery and Turtle Rehabilitation Centre. It was the first time any of the children had seen Olive Ridley turtles, the species that the festival was in honour of. They got to see firsthand the impact that ghost fishing gear and plastic pollution can have on them and why we should pledge to save the turtles.
They also made a coral frame with our team which will be added the waters around Kuda Huraa 💙

Last month we attended Vaavoshi Turtle Festival hosted by @oliveridleyproject in Huraa, North Male 🐢🐢🐢
Our team helped judge sand sculpture, poster and debate competitions and our marine biologist @charliesp.mb gave a talk about all things @reefscapersmaldives 🪸 as well as many other exciting activities and talks!
Thank you so much to ORP, Huraa School, all the children who took part and all the parents who helped make this festival happen and to raise awareness for the protection of sea turtles in the Maldives and worldwide 💚

A warm hello from our Marine Discovery Centre at Landaa Giraavaru. 💙 My name is Gesa, the new marine biology intern, supporting the Reefscapers coral team during their second spawning season of the year.
My first few weeks on site were packed with new ideas, from turtle care to Artemia production and dolphin cruises – it’s always great to broaden your skill set!

We've had a very busy month! From large presentations to local island visits, from egg-laden coral colonies to interviews with global TV crews 📺 … we didn’t have a spare second to come up for breath! 🤿
Luckily, we are a bunch of all-rounders, able to sub for each other in excursions and projects, so the upcoming coral spawning season will be all hands on the reef, day and night! 🌞 🌙

Come down to the Fish Lab to meet our Shrimps! 🦐
We have been expanding our Shrimp breeding program over recent months, and now have residents from five different family groups. We are studying and documenting the morphological differences between the different Shrimps, their eggs, and larvae, and hope to develop protocols to successfully breed them in our dedicated marine aquaria.

Hi, I’m Kelly 👋 the newest Marine Biology Intern at Marine Savers.
When I first caught sight of the turquoise-blue waters outside the plane window, I was speechless … photos cannot do these beautiful Maldivian islands justice.
After a quick ferry ride, I was welcomed by the friendly faces of the people who would soon become my good friends.
My marine adventures started the very next day, and there hasn’t been a dull moment since …

Monica’s Chapter #3 💙
My time as a marine biology intern has come to an end in the Maldives, but I still have some adventures to share!
I continued caring for our sea turtle patients, made new coral frames with guests, swam with mantas in Hanifaru Bay, and encountered hundreds of dolphins. 🐬
Thanks to everyone at Marine Savers, for embracing me as part of their team, and for all their patience and knowledge shared. 👋
