About Maarandhoo

Maarandhoo’s mangrove sits within a landscape where vegetation remains relatively dense. The wetland forms a transition zone, linking land ecosystems with the surrounding reef. It supports small fish, crustaceans, and passing birdlife, especially during seasonal shifts. Mangroves here help stabilize the shoreline and reduce the impact of storms and tides. These areas are often understood through familiarity rather than formal recognition. They are part of how the island holds together, both physically and ecologically, over long periods of change.
