While everyone only sees the beauty the Maldives have to offer it is often not recognized that there is a serious waste management problem as a lot of the waste produced by the resorts ends up in the ocean! As members of the research team we participated in beach clean ups to collect waste and prevent it from entering the ocean. Every tiny plastic piece can make a difference! #oceanconservation #plasticbeach #beachcleanup #wastemanagement #environment #recycle #plasticoceans (at Dhigurah)

Our neighbor on the island was about to open his own beach cafe so he invited us over for a round of fresh coconuts!

My favorite nights in the middle of the ocean at the end of a long day that we spent out on the water looking for whale sharks.
