Karibeyru Region

Part of the larger Rasdhoo marine protected area network, the Karibeyru Region covers approximately 3.55 km². It includes fringing reefs, coral slopes, and sandy bottoms that support vibrant reef life. Known for frequent manta ray visits, especially during plankton blooms, it plays a critical role in sustaining coral reef ecosystems and pelagic feeding routes. The area's geography includes shallow lagoons and drop-offs, providing ideal conditions for both reef regeneration and snorkeling or research-based eco-tourism.
