Population reinforcement of leopard sharks in the Coral-Triangle! Last morning plenary Mark Erdmann! Amazing story unfolding of using aquaria success to help support natural populations where they’ve been heavily overfished!! Great finish to #APCRS2023

Puteri Nur Adila UMT talking about assessing coral reef resilience at Pulau Redang Marine Park using indicators APCRS2023

And that's a wrap APCRS2023 . It's been an incredible gathering. Thank you all. Hope to have you at the Small Island Research Centre in the Maldives

Dr A Reef UMT talk on composition of Thiol Proteome in Acropora digitifera under thermal pressure APCRS2023

Her deepness Dr Sylvia A. Earle at the closing of the APCRS2023. What better way to end the symposium

Such a wonderful week at APCRS2023 in Singapore. We gave out information on doing Research in the Maldives. Time well spent with nearly 900 Marine Scientists from all over the world. We listened in to their findings and had a fruitful sharing of ideas. #apcrs2023 #singapore

Great to see old friends and meet new ones while sampling #BlueCarbon in Maldivian #seagrass beds! Stephanie Helber Blue Marine Foundation Maldives Underwater Initiative Shaha Northumbria Uni The Leverhulme Trust

New paper alert. By Dr Shuaib Nearshore tsunami amplitudes across the Maldives archipelago due to worst-case seismic scenarios in the Indian Ocean

We have deployed loggers to measure sea temperature and are closely monitoring the reefs around our research station in Huvadhu.

Happy to have been part of this research by Matthew Floyd and team Northumbria Uni

I wrote a piece in The Conversation to discuss some of the results from our recent paper! Seagrass meadows are rapidly expanding near inhabited islands in Maldives – here’s why theconversation.com/seagrass-meado… via The Conversation

Jetzt ist es endlich raus…Ich dürfte für die neue WAS IST WAS Reihe einen Band über Korallenriffe schreiben! Ich bin schon sooo aufgeregt wie ihr das Buch finden werdet! Das neue Layout ist echt der Wahnsinn! Ab dem 28.08.24 könnt ihr es auch in euren Händen halten 😊

When we feed sharks, we distort their natural behaviour's and set up potentially dangerous situations for all. FEEDING MUST STOP!

Check out this new research! 🌱 Seagrass globally is declining rapidly, but the Maldives stands out as a rare global seagrass ‘bright spot’. nature.com/articles/s4159…

We are honored to commence the Fifth Maldives Marine Science Symposium 2024. It takes us great pride that this symposium coincides with the 40th anniversary of MMRI. The Symposium was inaugurated by our Minister of Fisheries and Ocean Resources Mr. Ahmed Shiyam.

"A MONTH'S RAINFALL IN THREE DAYS!" alright, let's talk about this.. 🧵 👇🏽

Wrapping up our 2024 expedition, celebrating 8 years of coral reef monitoring in central #Maldives! Collected essential benthic & fish data from long-term sites. Check out our photo comparison from 2022 to 2024—excited to share findings soon! #MarineScience #CoralReefs

The Maldives side event on "Maldives' Experiences in Sustainable Coral Reef Management amidst Climate Change" at #COP29, shared experiences, challenges, and best practices among low-lying atoll nations in sustainable management of coral reefs in the face of climate change.

Exploring Maahuttigalaa, our coral reef research island. This 3D model, created using photogrammetry, allows us to study this remote island in South Huvadhoo Atoll with great accuracy. This digital representation provides valuable insights for scientific research & monitoring.

NOAA’s latest coral bleaching forecast signals a tough season ahead. As ocean temperatures climb, reefs across the tropics are at risk—some may not recover. Support the work by @mmri_maldives by reporting the status of your reefs.
