From Flippers to Fragments - Four Seasons Resorts Maldives Marks 15 Years of Marine Conservation and 9,000 Coral Frames

At Four Seasons Resorts Maldives - across the pristine waters of Kuda Huraa and Landaa Giraavaru - sustainability isn’t a department. It’s a philosophy, a design principle, and a brand promise. This year, the resort group proudly celebrates two defining milestones: 15 years of the Maldivian Sea Turtle Conservation Programme (MSTCP) and the installation of its 9,000th coral frame, in partnership with Reefscapers.

Designing a Future Beneath the Surface

It began in 2010 with the inauguration of the Maldives’ first Turtle Rehabilitation Centre at Landaa Giraavaru. Since then, more than 500 sea turtles have been rescued and treated, with 280+ released back into the wild. Simultaneously, a visionary coral restoration model - designed with oceanographer Thomas Le Berre - introduced a method of affixing coral fragments to metal frames on the ocean floor.

The result: one of the largest artificial reef structures in the Indian Ocean, now thriving across 3.05 acres.
