Embudhoo Kanduolhi
Potentially Threatened
Embudhoo Kanduolhi is one of the largest protected channels in South Malé Atoll, covering over 630 hectares. It features a wide passage between reef systems with strong tidal currents and excellent coral development. The site is a key migratory route for pelagic species and supports reef sharks, eagle rays, and large schools of fusiliers. Coral growth is especially dense on channel edges and drop-offs. The site is used in local marine research and reef health monitoring.
