Kuramathi Maldives adds Ocean Education to Family offerings

20 July, 2024

Shark Awareness Day at Kuramathi Maldives was a resounding success, engaging guests in educational activities and immersive experiences to foster appreciation and understanding of sharks and marine conservation.

The day commenced with a captivating Marine Biology Presentation on Sharks held at the Eco Centre from 10am to 10:40am. Attendees gained insights into the vital role sharks play in ocean ecosystems, highlighting the importance of their conservation. Following the presentation, guests eagerly participated in the complimentary Shark Awareness Snorkel session on the Kuramathi House Reef, where they had the opportunity to observe marine life up close in their natural habitat.

Meanwhile, at Bageecha Kids Club, throughout the day, children enjoyed a variety of interactive activities, starting with the creation of an Ocean Sharks Mural followed by Shark Craft session at 10am. The fun continued with Shark Games and Activities at the pool area offering entertainment while learning about shark behaviour and conservation.

Kuramathi’s commitment to marine conservation was further highlighted with the next event, where they held an event for Shark Awareness Day in collaboration with Rasdhu Blue Tide Swimming School. On July 19th, 2024, young children aged 8 to 13 years benefited from a presentation on sharks, followed by a snorkelling session at Madivaru with Tom, the Sustainability Manager and Aleem, the Senior Eco Centre Coordinator.

Last year Kuramathi, in collaboration with Rasdhoo Divers expanded scuba diving experience by offering a captivating range of Dive Speciality Courses, tailored for both novices and seasoned divers alike.

Looking ahead, Kuramathi Maldives remains steadfast in their commitment to sustainability and they extend their sincere appreciation to all participants, speakers, and partners who contributed to the success of these meaningful initiatives during the Shark Awareness Day.
