i m going on a field trip with aya naseem and her team. aya is a marine biologist at the maldives coral institute. she s taking me to see one of their coral projects that they hope may offer a solution in maintaining the health of these life giving reefs. so, for the maldives, all our islands are protected by coral. if you can see, like, where the waves are breaking, sometimes then, you ll get really big waves coming in. but it all gets dissipated by that whole layer of coral that you see there. by the time it reaches the shore, it s really low impact and it s not going to erode the beach so much. so, the coral reef is an important natural barrier to stop the erosion of the beaches? that s right it s our first line of defence. so, what s damaging the coral reefs? unsustainable development that s a big problem. climate change issues

coral and coral reefs are what makes these islands but they are facing huge challenges, so the first person i m going to meet is someone who s made it their life s passion to protect and nurture corals. thanks. this island has a population of a few hundred people. it s so thin, any erosion can have a dramatic effect on their lives. hello! i m going on a field trip with aya naseem and her team. aya is a marine biologist at the maldives coral institute. she s taking me to see one of their coral projects that they hope may offer a solution in maintaining the health of these life giving reefs. so, for the maldives, all our islands are protected by coral. if you can see, like, where the waves are breaking,
