excitement of Santa’s arrival as he and his elves deliver toys and
treats to the resort. Activities continue throughout the festive period
with a full line-up featuring magic shows, animal yoga, family
hand-line fishing and snorkelling lessons.
Anantara offer guests a diving holiday with a difference in the Maldives with a Five-Day Marine Expedition
Anantara Dhigu
and Anantara Veli Resorts in South Male Atoll, Maldives, are excited to
announce they will be hosting a team of marine biologists from The
Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation (KSLOF) 26 October to 1
November 2015. Led by Chief Scientist Dr Andrew Bruckner, the team of
four researchers will be conducting a Starfish Control and Removal
program, known as SCAR. The program consists of three main components,
the removal of coral reef predator Crown of Thorns Starfish (COTS),
quantitative reef surveys, and data analysis.
In a rare
opportunity to join a professional marine research team, guests with
Advanced PADI qualification and excellent buoyancy control are invited
to assist with COTS removal while staying at Anantara Dhigu and Veli
resorts. Offering a chance for a diving holiday with a difference, guest
divers will gain an understanding of some of the different species on
the reef, the relationships between corals, fish and other organisms,
how these maintain healthy reef systems and what happens when something
goes out of balance.
Removal of COTS
directly saves and protects the reefs and with each dive, guests can
learn about one of the very few predators of coral, and one of the most
interesting reef inhabitants. Through engagement with the researchers,
divers will witness firsthand one of the most severe threats affecting
our reefs today, including their biology and life history, what they do
to the reef, what normally controls them, why outbreaks occur, and how
to actively safeguard their impact.
Khaled bin Sultan Living Oceans Foundation
The Khaled bin
Sultan Living Oceans Foundation (KSLOF) is a non-profit, private
operating foundation established to help preserve, protect and restore
the world’s oceans and marine resources through research, education and
outreach. The foundation conducts applied coral reef research, working
to provide science-based solutions to ocean conservation and management
through on-the-ground programs involving ecological restoration,
education and training, outreach, and development of sustainable
approaches to manage coral reef resources. For more information, please
