“We have collaborated with different nonprofit organizations such as Manta Trust [for recording and identifying mantas], Olive Ridley Project [for identifying turtles], Turtle watch [for recording turtle sightings] and shark watch [for recording shark sightings]) and we assist in collecting data to get a better idea about the population and movements of turtles, sharks and mantas. The spot pattern is unique for each Manta and hence for identifying mantas it is vital to have a clear shot of the belly” briefs, Christian.
Christian’s reporting has been authenticated by Manta Trust.
Mövenpick Resort Kuredhivaru Maldives is a tropical oasis located in the undisturbed Noonu Atoll nestled in the northern part of the Maldives. Only 45 minutes travel from Male, makes it the perfect tropical haven to explore and rejuvenate amidst the pristine beauty and spectacular sceneries.
