In celebration of World Oceans Day, Noku Maldives, Vignette Collection, is pleased to announce its partnership with Atoll Marine Conservation Centre, a leading marine conservation organisation in the Maldives dedicated to sea turtle rescue, coral restoration, and community education. 

Founded in 2012, Atoll Marine Centre leads efforts in rescuing and rehabilitating injured sea turtles, particularly Olive Ridley turtles impacted by ghost nets drifting into Maldivian waters. Their work extends into coral restoration, community outreach, and the protection of fragile ecosystems surrounding the island of Naifaru. 

To commemorate World Oceans Day, Noku Maldives will host a series of conservation-focused activities in collaboration with Atoll Marine Conservation Centre, including interactive educational sessions for guests on sea turtle biology, threats, and rescue procedures. Additionally, resort staff will participate in a practical rescue and response simulation, strengthening in-house capacity to support marine wildlife in distress. 

Noku Maldives’ lagoon is home to a resident population of sea turtles, and their frequent presence has become a beloved feature of the guest experience. This partnership reflects the resort’s ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and the preservation of the Maldives’ rich marine biodiversity. 

“Collaborating with Atoll Marine Conservation Centre allows us to deepen our understanding and care for the marine life that surrounds us,” said Hussain Shahid, General Manager at Noku Maldives. “World Oceans Day presents an opportunity not just to celebrate the beauty of the ocean, but to act meaningfully in its protection.” 

This initiative forms part of Noku Maldives’ broader sustainability efforts under the ethos of conscious luxury and responsible hospitality.
