About Furanafushi

Spanning 15.04 hectares, Furanafushi lies near the capital’s shipping channels. Once used seasonally by fishermen, it is now developed for tourism. The surrounding reef is home to reef sharks, moray eels, and soft coral colonies. Despite development, patches of seagrass and reef flats remain intact and provide vital habitat for juvenile fish and invertebrates. It also plays a role in ongoing reef conservation efforts in central Kaafu.
