Abstrakt: This article discusses the coral restoration efforts taking place in the Maldives, specifically at resorts such as Velaa Private Island, Soneva Fushi, and Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru. The Maldives heavily relies on coral for its economy, as it supports fish populations and protects beaches from erosion. However, coral bleaching caused by factors like high temperatures and El Niño events has led to a decline in coral health. Resorts are implementing various restoration methods, such as coral nurseries and mineral accretion technology, to help reverse this trend. Guests are also encouraged to participate in these efforts. While the current situation is challenging, every effort to restore coral is crucial for its survival and adaptation to changing conditions. [Extracted from the article]
