For the first time, our team was represented at the Sixth Maldives Marine Science Symposium, with Marine Biologist Tharushi Pitigala presenting her research, "Forty Years of Remotely Sensed Daily Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Variability and its Impact on Shallow Water Coral Reefs: A Case Study of Ellaidhoo Island, Maldives." Her study examined four decades of sea surface temperature data to better understand the effects of ocean warming on the coral reefs surrounding Ellaidhoo.
This milestone reflects our commitment to supporting scientific research and contributing to the long term conservation of the Maldives' extraordinary marine ecosystems.
Congratulations to Tharushi on representing Ellaidhoo Maldives by Cinnamon on this important platform.
