REEF & ME

The biodiversity of our coral reefs and the symbiosis between each and every life form on the reef is vital for the reef’s health and the survival of Maldives. No reef = No Maldives! The lack of understanding of the importance of reef results in many negative practices, and our goal is to have more communities understand why the life forms in a reef are so important. We do so through a snorkeling and reef symbiosis education program with the students.
