One business slowly buying up an entire island, until locals are eventually priced out and the island becomes a resort. We need laws limiting how much land one person or company can own. The dark side of tourism. what starts as development ending in colonisation.

What a sad day this has turned out to be the Maldives is no longer recognized as a Shark Sanctuary. Gulper shark fisheries have been officially reinstated.@presidencymv
🦈Sharks are vital for a healthy ocean. The Maldives, the Indian Ocean’s only shark sanctuary, relies on sharks to regulate prey, maintain biodiversity, and support marine ecosystems.

Can any lawyer help?
Is there a court we can take our govt for wasting public money?
They are building airports between islands which are less than 3 minutes from each other!!! 🙄
And our president has a phd in civil engineering.
Sad to share this . @MMuizzu told Dhonfan people he will reclaim land for them. What might happen is 1000s of mantas who come here seasonally to feed might not come. The current moves the planktons inside and traps it for the mantas. If they reclaim currint might change.
Heartbreaking:
This is Yahya Sobeih, a journalist whose wife just delivered a baby. It was just five hours ago and you can see that from his stories.
This baby was Yahya’s first child.
Israel killed Yahya an hour ago.
It was less than 24 hours ago Muizzu said he will not punish them for things they do as youth. He then wished the girl a recovery.
But after Gen Z started protesting he got scared and asked MMTV to remove the article.
But before that he was okay with drug/alcohol/rape cause they’re youth.
The ReefSeed Demonstration Day was inaugurated by Minister of @MFORmv , Ahmed Shiyam, marking a major step forward in reef restoration research and development in the Maldives.
ReefSeed is a collaboration between MMRI, @aims_gov_au , @CSIRO and @CORDAP_#ReefSeed
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our DDG for Mariculture Research, Hassan Shakeel. A pioneer in mariculture, he dedicated 40 years to MMRI, mentoring many and shaping the field.
May Allah (SWT) grant him Jannatul Firdaus and give strength to his family and loved ones.
🦈 feeding for tourism is now common across the Maldives, from top resorts to local dive centers. While this practice supports many livelihoods, it's time we recognize the need for regulation and management.
