As part of its enduring commitment to environmental responsibility, Noku Maldives, a distinguished resort under the Vignette Collection, has partnered with the Atoll Marine Conservation Centre (AMCC) to commemorate World Oceans Day with a series of marine conservation initiatives. This collaboration reinforces Noku Maldives’ role in supporting marine protection efforts while offering guests meaningful experiences that reflect the natural beauty and ecological richness of the Maldives.
Established in 2012, the Atoll Marine Conservation Centre is a prominent marine-focused NGO based in the island of Naifaru, Lhaviyani Atoll. The centre is widely recognised for its impactful work in rescuing and rehabilitating injured sea turtles, particularly Olive Ridley turtles harmed by ghost nets, abandoned fishing gear that drifts into Maldivian waters from surrounding regions. In addition to turtle rescue and care, the centre actively engages in coral restoration, public education, and the protection of vulnerable reef ecosystems.
In honour of World Oceans Day, Noku Maldives is launching an engaging programme of conservation-based activities in partnership with AMCC. Guests will have the opportunity to take part in interactive educational sessions that cover essential topics such as sea turtle biology, threats facing marine wildlife, and practical rescue techniques. These sessions aim to raise awareness among visitors and deepen their understanding of the challenges affecting ocean life. Simultaneously, the resort’s staff will participate in hands-on training through a rescue and response simulation, which enhances their ability to identify and assist marine creatures in distress.
The waters surrounding Noku Maldives are known for their thriving marine life, including a resident population of sea turtles that has become a cherished highlight for visitors. This initiative not only underscores the resort’s dedication to conservation but also enhances the guest experience by connecting them more deeply with the environment they’ve come to explore.
“Collaborating with Atoll Marine Conservation Centre allows us to deepen our understanding and care for the marine life that surrounds us,” stated Hussain Shahid, General Manager of Noku Maldives. “World Oceans Day presents an opportunity not just to celebrate the beauty of the ocean, but to act meaningfully in its protection.”
The partnership is part of Noku Maldives’ broader sustainability strategy, which aligns with its vision of conscious luxury and responsible hospitality. The resort continues to integrate environmental stewardship into its operations, ensuring that visitors enjoy an experience that is not only luxurious but also aligned with the values of ecological preservation.
