Our experts down in the Fish Lab are gearing up for a new Zooplankton Study, and we have some cool Reefscapers artwork to show you … from the air!
We also have news of our ‘Flying Turtles’ project, for our injured unreleasable Olive Ridley turtle patients.

Hello, my name is Alejandra.
https://marinesavers.com/2021/07/coral-biologist/
I am the new Reefscapers Coral Biologist at Four Seasons Resort Kuda Huraa … a tiny island in the middle of the Indian Ocean. 🌴
My day begins with the colours of the ocean, peaceful beaches, the balance and beauty of nature … all are simply breath-taking.
The Maldives’ underwater-world of reef fish and coral biodiversity is a mind-blowing experience! 💙 #coralbiology #coralbiologist #maldives🇲🇻 #underwaterlife

It has been a tough week at Kuda Huraa. We are very sad to report that our long-term resident and everyone’s favorite turtle Bowser passed away yesterday 💔 For those who do not know, Bowser came to us in March 2019. She had been found entangled in a ghost net which resulted in having her right front flipper amputated. She also suffered from buoyancy syndrome. For the past year, Bowser made fantastic improvements to her condition and was extremely bright and active. Unfortunately, her health started to decline in the past week and despite doing everything we could to make her well again, it wasn’t successful. We miss Bowser dearly and are all very shocked at her sudden passing.

Happy #WorldSeaTurtleDay 🐢
Today, we are looking back on some of our favorite turtle moments – all of which include releasing them back in to the wild. Although we love these moments, it is incredibly sad to witness firsthand the threats these turtles face in the ocean. Human-induced problems continue to threaten the survival of sea turtles amongst other marine life. Nearly all species of sea turtles are classified as endangered. Exploited for their eggs and shell, sea turtles suffer from poaching and plastic pollution. We must start acting now, before it’s too late to protect these gentle sea turtles so we can continue to see them gracing our oceans for generations to come! “For our islands to thrive, we need turtles to thrive”🌎

The Maldives Sea Turtle Identification Project has been receiving data through citizen science for the past 10 years. We have identified 1302 individual Hawksbill turtles, 271 Green turtles, and 98 Olive Ridley turtles up to date. A total of more than 4926 sightings have been recorded since we started the project. Swipe to see the map of the Maldives depicting the abundance of individuals sighted and their location around the country 🐢 🇲🇻 Help us extend our database by sending us pictures of your Maldivian turtle encounters!

Once a week, our team at Kuda Huraa spends their time in the water cleaning and maintaining coral frames around the island. 🐠 Often at times, corals can get overrun with algae, preventing them from getting sunlight. To give our frames the best chance to thrive, we clean the frames of any algae and stabilize any fragments that have become lose. We also make sure that the dedication tags on your sponsored frame are always clean and shiny. To learn more about our coral propagation project, visit our website www.marinesavers.com

Another day, another rehab swim for Bowser. If you have been keeping up with our turtles, you’ll know our favourite patient Bowser, the olive Ridley turtle who absolutely loves stretching her flippers in the ocean. We regularly take our rehab patients to swim in the lagoon at the resort, encouraging them to start diving underwater.

With the weather changing, there is a greater chance of sea turtle strandings and entanglements around the Maldives. But when does a sea turtle actually need assistance? Check out this helpful infographic above for guidance on what to do! Please keep your eyes out for entangled turtles, and please do not hesitate to reach out to us on any of our social platforms for more information!

Happy Earth Day 2021! Initially photographed by A

Happy Earth Day 2021! Initially photographed by Apollo 17 astronauts and reproduced across the world, the image of the Earth in its entirety showcases our planet’s majesty, beauty, and yet fragility. Our world is simply bursting at the seams with life, but now more than ever; it needs our help. For Earth Day 2021, we urge you (remotely and safely!) to come together in support for the environment, to discuss current issues, and take actions for the future.
The current COVID-19 pandemic has shown us the importance of individual yet collaborative actions - and the same is true for creating sustainable lands and seas. Swipe to discover a few simple ways that each of us can make a difference, as #Togetherwecan #RestoreOurEarth #TakeCareofthePlanet #CleantheSeas

🐢 Meet Maracuja, the latest arrival at our rehabilitation center at Kuda huraa. Unfortunately, like most of our rehab patients, Maracuja was found caught in a fishing net, sustaining a deep laceration in her front flipper. Thankfully, her injured flipper is capable of full mobility and she is able to dive underwater. We are keeping our fingers crossed for a quick recovery for Maracuja.

Global Recycling Day 2021. Yesterday, to celebrate

Global Recycling Day 2021. Yesterday, to celebrate #GlobalRecyclingDay ♻️ our team at Kuda huraa joined forces with @fsmaldives and @parleymaldives for an island wide clean up. Unfortunately, trash of all types including plastic often end up in our island posing harm to all marine life. We need to make conscious choices in order to create and sustain an environmentally friendly and circular economy. It’s time to RETHINK our waste: extend products life cycle by REUSING, REDUCING or RECYCLING♻️ All recyclable waste we collected around our island will be sent to @parleymaldives

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! Feature of the day —> Whale sharks Did you know whale sharks can grow as big as a school bus - making them the largest known fish species in the world? Although their name hints danger, whale sharks are actually gentle giants! This spectacular fish has impressive markings and spots on their body unique to each individual, just like our fingerprints, making it possible to recognise and identify different individuals.

Happy #WorldWildlifeDay! Feature of the day —> 🐬Spinner dolphins; the most commonly sighted cetacean in the Maldives, and a great source of delight to guests on our Dolphin cruises. Spinner dolphins are known for their impressive acrobatic displays - jumping and spinning high in the air as many as 7 times in a row! Although these dolphins are listed as Data Deficient, their populations have decreased dramatically around the world. Main threats include nets around tuna fisheries. Have you seen any Spinner dolphins in action before? Comment down below if you have!

To celebrate #WorldWildlifeDay on 3rd March 2021,

To celebrate #WorldWildlifeDay on 3rd March 2021, we as ocean lovers will spend this week highlighting few of the many marine life that frequent the beautiful waters of the Maldives! Today’s feature —> Sea turtles 🐢 Did you know only 1 in 1,000 sea turtle hatchlings make it to adulthood? Increasing threats caused by human activities have severely decreased sea turtle populations around the world. Nearly all species of sea turtles are listed as endangered, with hawksbill turtles listed as critically endangered. Comment down below what you think you can do to protect sea turtles that live in our ocean this World Wildlife Day!
