Underneath the vast expanses of Maldives Shimmering waters there grows a life that has made the very minute islands of Maldives one of the most sought after holiday destinations in the Globe. It is none other than the exquisite and colourful array of Corals, a life that quietly sustains itself under the archipelagos that make the nation of Maldives.
The Coral Reef that holds these magnificent corals is a world in itself. Home to a large number of underwaterlife that includes crustaceans, molluscs and tropical fish these Reefs protect a number of beaches and guard the Naladhu Maldives lagoon that is located in the South Male Atoll. Despite its sheer magnificence, corals are one of the most sensitive organisms that are prone to being damaged by the slightest of harsh climatic conditions and any form of drastic environmental changes. The passion to protect this organism resulted in the formation of the Maldives Coral Adoption Programme. Initiated by Anantara Maldives Resort this programme is a long term plan that envisions the continued healthy existence of corals through sharing learning experiences with guests and implementing such research resulting in coral growth acceleration and regeneration in the atolls. In this programme guests have an opportunity to participate in reef creation and giving their contribution to the conservation effort by adopting a coral frame and taking part in transplanting such corals onto the frame with the help of resident marine biologists who are ardently working on conservation research. Through afully equipped website guests can monitor the fate of their very own adopted coral.
