Biological assessment of marine resources for the Republic of the Maldives, Indian Ocean, August, 2001 (NCEI Accession 0000670)
In August 2001, biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service were asked to conduct an assessment of the national government's capability to respond to major threats (e.g., anthropogenic and natural) to the marine habitat of the Republic of the Maldives. A marine survey was conducted at selected locations to assess impacts to the marine environment. Biologists documented reef fishes, corals, other macroinvertebrates, and algae, and provided general descriptions of the benthic community at each of four primary survey sites.

Supplemental Information | Co-investigator: Alan Everson, NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service; Project: Disaster preparedness mitigation assessmeent mission to the Republic of the Maldives |
Purpose | The purpose for this assessment is to assist the Maldivian government plan for environmental disasters. Pre-planning for environmental disasters could help the government avoid or reduce potential negative impacts to marine biological resources. Minimizing the risk of impacts directly benefits the Maldivian people who rely upon marine resources for daily subsistence and economic purposes. |
