GULHIFALHU DREDGING AND RECLAMATION PROJECT
The Gulhifalhu dredging and land reclamation project consists of dredging and placement of sand at Gulhifalhu lagoon to create 192 ha of new land, as well as the construction of revetments to protect the new land.
CORAL RELOCATION
Coral Relocation to Mitigate Habitat Loss

No of coral colonies relocated as of 12 July 2020:
- 5000 Branching Coral Colonies
- 2500 Massive Coral Colonies
