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.

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, 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!

This Valentine’s Day we spread our love in the best way we know how to....underwater! ❤️🤿🌊Yesterday the team at Kuda Huraa spent their day giving some love to the ocean by transplanting coral onto special heart-shaped frames in our house reef. Anyone else spent Valentine’s Day underwater?

This #TurtleTuesday we took our all-time favourite patient Bowser out for her rehabilitation swim in the ocean 🐢

Bowser is a female olive Ridley turtle who came to us in March 2019 sadly after being entangled in a ghost net. Unfortunately, she required an amputation of the left flipper and has had trouble diving since then.

Things are looking up for Bowser now as she has shown great improvement in the past few months! With her newfound energy, it is definitely getting harder for us to keep up with her in the water!

Can you guess what this is? 🧐

Although it resembles a flowery soft coral, it’s actually an anemone! We recently spotted this Actinodendrum arboreum around the water villas of Kuda Huraa Island. As pretty as it looks, they are actually known for their ability to produce a nasty sting that can even cause skin ulcers. And that’s how they get their common name - Hell’s fire anemone!

This large anemone can bury their entire bodies into the sand when disturbed. Swipe to see this in action ➡️➡️

🐢 TURTLE RELEASE: Toby (a juvenile hawksbill turtle) was found at Four Seasons Voavah. Upon arrival at our centre, we noticed he presented with a deformation on his carapace. After spending many months under our close supervision to make sure there were no underlying issues, Toby revealed to be healthy enough to continue his journey in the big blue. He was definitely happy to have been the first turtle release of the year 2021!

Remember Allegra, the juvenile hawksbill turtle we released in 2018? We just spotted her for the first time since 2018, at Makunudhoo reef in North Malé last week 🐢 We are happy to report that she looks healthy and has grown so much since we released her over 2 years ago!

It is always exciting when we spot turtles in their natural habitat, especially when they were previously released from our rehabilitation centre!

2021 is starting out right! Our team at Kuda huraa has had a lucky first week of the year - from spotting manta rays on snorkel adventures, to having close up encounters with pilot whales on our dolphin cruise!

And with that, we’ve added the 18th individual to our pilot whale population database! Swipe to see ‘Rachel’

Happy new year from the Marine Savers team at Kuda Huraa!

Looking back at 2020 - we have released over 20 turtles from our rehabilitation centre, transplanted over 20,000 coral fragments around our reef and encountered a myriad of marine life around our waters. Now that’s what we call a successful year!

Let this year bring more sunshine and adventures for everyone! 🌅

PEACOCK MANTIS SHRIMP: Did you know? Mantis shrimp

PEACOCK MANTIS SHRIMP: Did you know?
Mantis shrimp (classified as stomatopods) despite their small size, can quite literally - pack a punch! They have specialised forelimbs adapted for close-range attack on their prey. Once they spot their prey, they unfold their forelimbs to throw a powerful punch - force equivalent to a bullet shot from a gun!

Swipe to see our resident peacock mantis shrimp in action!
