@mohamedseeneen@hdcmaldives Shark Tank has given countless Maldivians the chance to build successful dive businesses — creating jobs and growing our dive industry. Destroying this site would devastate many livelihoods and undo years of positive impact. #SaveSharkTank

Wanted to check if the current dredge borrow area includes or overlaps near Banana Reef 🪸?
Recent notice shows the dredger movement zone extending close to the Banana Reef would be good to confirm
@mohamedseeneen@presidencymv@MMuizzu@IUCN@MoTmv@Thoriqibrahim Instead of reopening shark fisheries, authorities should focus on enforcing existing laws, and protecting our marine resources. The Maldives has built a global reputation for its commitment to marine conservation reopening shark fisheries would only destroy that hard-earned image
@mohamedseeneen@presidencymv@MFORmv@IUCN Politically motivated decisions may offer short-term advantages, but they often lead to long-term destruction. Sustainable choices, made with public input and scientific guidance, will protect not only our marine life but also the future of our nation.@MMuizzu

Even if the government decides to reopen gulper shark fisheries, considering the current living standards in the Maldives and the shortage of fishermen to sustain even our traditional fishing industry, it’s highly unlikely that Maldivians will engage in shark fishing again.
Just to be clear, it is my opinion that our development concept of destroying our ecosystem, which doesn’t benefit us sustainably, is NOT JUST A MERE ISSUE WITH THIS OR ANY GOV, but rather with US too as the people who demand it, blindly and selfishly.
So using it to hurl slangs at the incumbent is not getting us anywhere tbh.

Allowing a targeted fishery for Gulper Sharks would be a major setback for the Maldives. One of the world’s last Shark Sanctuaries.
Saying yes means opening the door to legal shark fishing again.

PADI and the PADI AWARE Foundation have written to President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu urging the Maldives to uphold its shark sanctuary and stop plans to reopen gulper shark fisheries. @PADI@padiaware@presidencymv@MMuizzu@MoTmv@Thoriqibrahim
@mohamedseeneen@MFORmv They take everything — coral, fish, ghost crabs, even protected species — without respect, without limits, and without accountability. All this, in exchange for a few dollars per night. We need to address this matter and find way to stop this.@MohamedNasheed@MMuizzu
@mohamedseeneen@MFORmv This issue can no longer be ignored. We are witnessing it with our own eyes: individual operators, from China, jumping from island to island, leaving behind reefs destroyed, beaches silent, and ecosystems lifeless. This has to be stop immediately, @MMuizzu
