Kuramathi Eco Centre and Rasdhu Blue Tide Swimming School joined hands to Inspire Young Minds

Published

on

Kuramathi Eco Centre and Rasdhu Blue Tide Swimming School joined hands to  host an educational event aimed at instilling love for marine life and environmental conservation  in children aged 5-12. This collaborative effort was driven by a shared passion for protecting our  oceans and educating the next generation about the importance of marine conservation. 

The day began with an engaging presentation on manta rays, captivating the children’s attention  and sparking their curiosity about these fascinating creatures. The enthusiasm among the young  participants was palpable as they eagerly learned information about the marine ecosystem and  its inhabitants. The agenda expanded to include a discussion on the sperm whale skeleton  housed at the Eco Centre. This addition further enriched the children’s understanding of marine  biodiversity and the interconnectedness of ocean ecosystems. 

The highlight of the event was the snorkelling adventure where students aged 8-12 geared up to  explore the underwater world alongside manta rays, younger children aged 5-7 remained at  Kuramathi Eco Centre, where they had the opportunity to observe plankton through a  microscope with the guidance of Mohammed Aleem – Senior Eco Centre Coordinator. This  hands-on activity allowed them to gain a deeper appreciation for the intricate beauty of marine  life on a microscopic level. 

Under the guidance of Sara Scroglieri Resident Marine Biologist at Kuramathi, children had the  chance to snorkel with manta rays but also actively participated in collecting plankton samples  for further examination under the microscope. This immersive experience not only fostered a  sense of wonder but also instilled a sense of responsibility towards protecting our oceans and  marine ecosystems. 

We extend our sincere gratitude to all participants and speakers for their invaluable contributions  to the event’s success. All participants were presented with certificates of participation, serving  as a testament to their commitment to marine conservation and environmental stewardship.  Kuramathi Eco Centre and Rasdhu Blue Tide Swimming School are proud to have inspired and  empowered the next generation of environmental champions and look forward to continuing  their collaborative efforts to protect our oceans for generations to come.

Milaidhoo Maldives presents ‘Reef Stories’ in celebration of World Photo Day

Published

on

This World Photo Day, Milaidhoo Maldives opens a compelling new chapter in ocean storytelling with the launch of “Reef Stories”, a digital gallery dedicated to showcasing the breathtaking marine life flourishing around our island sanctuary, through the unique eyes and artistry of our guests.

Tucked within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve of Baa Atoll, Milaidhoo is more than just paradise, it’s a living masterpiece painted with dazzling coral reefs, crystal-clear waters and gentle giants like manta rays and sea turtles. Every wave, every current, every splash holds a story waiting to be captured.

“Reef Stories” invites guests to share their unforgettable encounters beneath the waves, each image a work of art that reflects personal perspective, emotion and the intimate connection between photographer and ocean. From shy sea turtles weaving through coral gardens to magical moments swimming alongside majestic manta rays, these photographs weave together a collective tapestry celebrating the beauty and fragility of our underwater world.

At the heart of this initiative is Ocean Stories, Milaidhoo’s aquatic discovery centre led by expert PADI 5-star dive instructors and a resident marine biologist. Guests deepen their connection to the ocean through guided snorkelling, diving, citizen science projects and educational talks, designed to inspire stewardship of this precious ecosystem.

True to Milaidhoo’s commitment to sustainability, we prioritise non-motorised water activities like kayaking, paddleboarding and windsurfing, ensuring guests experience the lagoon’s magic with minimal impact.

As Abdulla Mufeed, Base Leader, puts it: “Reef Stories is more than a collection of images; it’s a celebration of our guests’ personal perspectives and deep connection to the ocean. By sharing these moments, we hope to inspire greater care and conservation as well as to encourage those less familiar with the water to discover the magic beneath the surface.”

This World Photo Day, Milaidhoo invites you to become part of the story by uploading your Milaidhoo Moments in sharing your Reef Story.
