Sea turtle beach guardian programme – collective action to protect L. Gaadhoo

August 28, 2025June 12, 2023 by Isha Afeef (ORP), Enas Mohamed Riyaz (EPA)

Historically, L. Gaadhoo set an example for managing and monitoring natural resources locally with the active involvement of the community. Through our Sea Turtle Beach Guardian Programme in Laamu Atoll, we are hopeful that community members will once again take an active role in sea turtle conservation in the atoll.
