Launch of "Reef Rangers" after school club

Soneva Fushi Launches Reef Rangers After School Club at Maalhos

July 2011 marked the launch of the first of 12 Reef Rangers activity at neighbouring island Maalhos.  

Soneva Fushi’s marine biologist has put together a 12 week activity program for 10 high school students that are passionate about the marine environment and that are keen to learn more.

The program covers a range of marine themes from sustainable fishing, to marine protected areas, to waste management and permaculture, through a hands on approach and getting the students out onto the reef.

The program was launched by extreme artists ‘olly and suzi’ who worked with the students, inspiring them about the nature of island ecosystems through art and introducing the plight of the manta rays. The sandy beach at Maalhos underneath the shady palms created a perfect setting for this first activity.
