Kudarah Thila
Protected & Documented
A compact but ecologically rich MPA, Kudarah Thila covers around 0.34 km². Its pinnacle-like structure features coral overhangs, caves, and densely populated reef walls. A prime site for soft corals and sea fans, it attracts schools of sweetlips, groupers, and reef sharks. The thila's strategic location within ocean currents makes it a biodiversity magnet and a key refuge for marine species. Though small, its environmental and dive value is internationally recognized, often cited among the Maldives’ best thilas.
