Dive Desk Supports 1 Nation Coral Revival Event

1 Nation’ coral frame 🪸✨ at Villingili, designed for transplanting corals and restoring reef habitats as part of the 1 Nation Coral Revival Event. #CoralRestoration #DiveWithPurpose #MarineConservation

Dive Desk was thrilled to join a wide range of stakeholders in marine conservation for the two-day 1 Nation Coral Revival Event at Villingili, organized by Save the Beach Maldives. A heartfelt thank you goes to our Divemaster Candidates and divers for their hard work transplanting corals from Malé Atoll Uthuru Thila Falhu, a land reclamation site, to a metal frame installed at Villingili’s house reef. Their efforts not only helped rehabilitate degraded reefs but also raised awareness of the human impact on our marine environment.

The weekend festival brought together NGOs, dive centers, government agencies, UN organizations, media, and schools, all working collaboratively to explore ways to protect our vulnerable coral ecosystems, mitigate damage, and enjoy the underwater world responsibly.

It was inspiring to see so many nature lovers unite to highlight the significance of coral reefs for ocean biodiversity, healthy ecosystems, and local livelihoods. As the event reminded us: there is no second Maldives. Protecting our coral reefs is essential for the survival of our islands and the communities that call them home.
