The rise of conservation-focused resorts - SilverKris

"A luxury resort in Baa Atoll that became the base for a major manta-research and conservation initiative, hosting a marine discovery centre run with Manta Trust and offering programmes such as a ‘manta on call’ transfer, researcher-led days to collect ID photos and data, and guided snorkels during the May–November peak when tidal and lunar conditions can attract up to around 100 reef mantas. The partnership helped drive the designation of the local feeding lagoon as a Marine Protected Area and contributed to Baa Atoll’s recognition as a UNESCO biosphere reserve." - Silkwinds, the inflight magazine of SilkAir
