Coral Propagation

Fushifaru Maldives created and developed a coral propagation project to aid in the renewal of the coral reefs around the island, which is critical to the preservation of biodiversity.

The team intends to put coral pieces in the lagoon, in multiple frames, including one that is clearly manta-shaped. To ensure the project's success, the crew continues to plant, monitor, and clean frames. Both certified divers and snorkelers are welcome to visit the site by participating in a diving expedition or a coral restoration snorkeling tour.

Every guest may contribute to Fushifaru's green community by purchasing a reusable bag for USD 15, which they can use to carry their plastic back home.

Fushifaru is dedicated to making a positive difference, which is why 50% of the revenues from the bags will be used to educate the local population about sustainable living. Fushifaru Maldives is proud to be an environmentally friendly island with no plastic.
