To Celebrate Earth Hour 2014, Gili Lankanfushi is proudly launching The Coral Lines project, a non-profit coral reef rehabilitation project !

Last week our two of our hosts, Shahid from Housekeeping and Assad from In Villa Dining, noticed a turtle stuck in a pile of fishing net near one of the jetties in our lagoon.

Scientists that identify, describe, classify and name organisms (taxonomists) can sometimes be a bit plain when naming species. However, there are some exceptionally creative names, and one of them is Spanish dancer (Hexabranchus sanguineus), an elusive species of Indo-pacific nudibranch.

Yesterday our guests saw something very unusual… something so unusual that our Marine Biologist had not seen it in the two years that he has worked in the Maldives; a Pyrosome.

On the 6th of January, near Manta Point, Gili boat crew noticed a bunch of nets drifting in the Ocean.
