Hurawalhi's strict fishing and seafood policies protect the
local environment as well as providing guests the chance to enjoy some
incredible experiences.
The incredible waters around Hurawalhi Resort in the
Maldives are teeming with marine life, the rich and varied environment is one
of the most beautiful and fragile in the world. This unique marine world has
long been a big draw for visitors to the country as well as being one of the
most important resources for the region.
The fresh fish and seafood on offer at Hurawalhis dining
venues, from the spacious buffet restaurant of Canneli to the stunning 5.8
Undersea Restaurant, is all sustainably sourced and, where possible, locally
caught. Often supplemented by the fresh produce grown in Hurawalhis own
gardens this enables guests to enjoy the fantastic meals on offer guilt-free
and with the confidence that everything has been sourced with the environment
at the forefront of our chefs planning.
Hurawalhis guests can also choose to join fishing
experiences, both those using traditional hand line techniques and big-game
fishing excursions. In order to protect and ensure that these activities are
sustainable, Hurawalhi has introduced a strict fishing policy. This policy
ensures that only certain species are targeted, limits the numbers kept and
Hurawalhi actively engage in tagging and monitoring of key species. All fish
that are kept are sent to the kitchens and prepared for our guests to enjoy.
Working with Hurawalhis marine biologists, the log from
each trip is monitored and feeds into wider research on the regions fish
stocks and the overall health of the Maldives waters.
