Shark paradise - Maldives, Fuvahmulah

Спорт

Earlier this year, @oceanculturelife storyteller @jonoallenphotography asked us to support him on the important storytelling journey behind setting up Fuvahmulah Marine Foundation alongside @lonubreak in order to protect the local marine ecosystem and dive sites on the island of Fuvahmulah. ⁠

Commonly known by the nation as ‘Shark Island’ due to an almost guaranteed sight of arguably the healthiest tiger shark population in the world. This community have slowly surfed, swam, dived and fished their way into a peaceful, harmonious relationship with a species that’s widely feared and threatened. ⁠

The small island hasn’t typically been a popular holiday destination, but the recent recognition of its shark population and marine life has resulted in a dramatic increase in attention. But like a lot of growth, there’s the opportunity to do it the right way, the way this gem of an island deserves, and then there’s the devastating way. ⁠

Fuvahmulah Marine Foundation is a locally driven non-profit dedicated to protecting and conserving the pristine marine ecosystem that surrounds the Maldivian island paradise of Fuvahmulah.⁠

Help us keep this shark haven safe, and join us one day in experiencing it for yourself. ⁠

    Nice video and storytelling. I was there in 2018 and I really hope that Fuvahmulah will not be the victim of his growing success

    Thanks a lot for the impressive movie, thanks a lot for the fantastic pictures and most of all thanks for the content of your movie. For sure we need to protect not only the maldives but we need to keep a special eye on it. My wife and me visited the maldives more than 20 times the last 20 years and we are more than angry about a lot of called divers and their not behaviour. Ggod luck for all your tries of prevention

    I hope to be there next year 2023. I would much rather be with the locals and local divers than elsewhere. I just hope there are some good, white sandy beaches and not lots of rocks. Is it far from Male ? Have to take a flight, or by boat ?
