In the Indian Ocean, the waters of the Maldives are home to a stunning underwater life. Divers can encounter cleaner fish that provide grooming sessions for manta rays, gobies living in cohabitation with blind crabs, and nurse sharks, which feed by sucking in their prey with great noise.
However, mass tourism has invaded the daily lives of this marine fauna: until the 1990s, the waste generated by the approximately 1.5 million annual visitors was simply thrown into the sea… Today, men and women are fighting to preserve the local biodiversity.
