About Fushivelavaru
Fushivelavaru lies within the heart of Noonu Atoll, a small coral island surrounded by calm, shallow lagoons and reef flats that nurture diverse marine life. The island’s natural form shows traces of old vegetation belts, with coastal shrubs and hardy mangroves adapting to the salt-rich soil. Offshore, branching corals and seagrass meadows host juvenile reef fish, rays, and turtles, indicating a healthy lagoon ecosystem. Oral history suggests the island once served as a temporary fishing base for nearby islanders, a reminder of its long connection with the sea. Today, conservationists view it as a vital reference point for understanding atoll ecology.
