Maldives, a collection of islands located on the Indian Ocean, is one of the world's most popular tourist attractions. Situated just south of Sri Lanka, the beautiful tropical nation of Maldives has its unique culture and heritage making its society and lifestyle rather intriguing. The Maldives is also known for its pristine beaches, thriving hospitality industry, and its reputed leisure and cultural attractions. Maldives, being an island nation, is thoroughly influenced by the ocean and all marine related things. Thus corals, which are found in abundance and are quite the attraction in Maldives, play a vital role in Maldives economy, culture, and even their existence. It is for this purpose that Maldives has initiated the trend of coral gardening underwater. Coral gardening is much like normal gardening, the only difference being that this garden exists underwater! The process involves the artificial creation of the natural process in which corals are formed; which involves simulating waves so that fragments of corals are spread around which in turn reproduce. It also involves the careful handling and collecting of coral fragments, which are later plastered in concrete slabs and set underwater in the ideal conditions, so they grow. This process is of extreme hardship and needs to be done intricately and carefully. However, the results of the hard work truly pays off, as the coral gardens of Maldives have turned into breathtaking and prospering reefs. This process had contributed to the coral growth which has reduced due to global warming, and also aids in serving as a barrier between the ocean and the mainland of Maldives. These magnificent and colourful corals are a major tourist attraction, and are also home to several species of marine life. One can witness the coral gardens at different stages of growth, which promises to be a truly spectacular sight. Diving and exploring these beautiful gardens is a special experience, as it is a perfect symbol of how man can contribute to the continuation of something beautiful and delicate as corals. One of the Maldives all inclusive hotels that romanticizes the idea of tropical tranquillity and bliss is the Maafushivaru Maldives.
