Home to five out of seven species of sea turtles, the Maldives is a vital location for turtle rescue, rehabilitation and release.

Sadly, all species are endangered or critically endangered, largely due to anthropogenic threats such as plastic pollution, ghost nets and poaching.

Sea turtles are frequently admitted with amputation and carapace wounds or buoyancy syndrome that require diagnostics, medical management and occasionally surgery.

Here at Atoll Marine Centre, we are proud to be able to offer veterinary services and are one of very few places in the country to do so.

Our work is therefore crucial not just for the conservation of wildlife, but more recently neutering and treating domesticated pets too.

This is one of the many reasons why we need volunteers like you, to work with us and help protect Maldivian animals.
