Key Elements and Achievements:

At the Four Seasons Resort in the Maldives, I worked in coral restoration and marine education, restoring the reef around the resort and educating guests about marine conservation.
As the only coral researcher on the remote island of Kuda Huraa, I contributed by creating new frames for its restoration and maintaining around 1000 coral frames.
I also helped in fishing monitoring and the rescue, breeding, and recovery of sea turtles.
