Our Environment - Marine Conservation

At Angsana Velavaru, we take our responsibility to our environment seriously. Our programmes and initiatives help reduce our ecological footprint and create impactful experiences for guests, associates, and surrounding local communities. We operate as a business for good, and actively protect the biodiversity that surrounds our resort. Our in-house Marine Lab team conducts ongoing conservation efforts, including reef cleaning and coral planting. There are two coral rope nurseries and one coral garden on the lagoon, and these help to restore our reefs. We also raise awareness about the fragility of the Maldives ecosystem by engaging guests and associates in our marine conservation activities.

Resource Conservation

Our property’s efforts connect with global climate action as we conserve resources through efficient operations. Our goal is to implement one resource conservation initiative per year through reduction, refusing, recycling, reusing, and removal.

By organising regular clean-ups events, we aim to remediate and cleanse our natural environments and communities, to keep them in pristine condition. These clean-up events are one of the main activities we organise in partnership with local communities to help us support and engage with locals.
