MMRI Calls for Immediate Halt to Dredging Amid Coral Bleaching Crisis

The Maldives Marine Research Institute has called for an immediate temporary halt to all land reclamation and dredging as coral bleaching escalates across the Maldives, following reports from NOAA and the International Coral Reef Initiative. Experts recorded night-time water temperatures of 30 degrees Celsius at 10 metres depth in the central atolls, up from the usual 28 degrees, with photos of whitening and dying corals circulating widely.
