Maldives has been conducting censuses since 1911 with the first modern census conducted in 1977. Censuses were conducted every five years since between 1985 and 2000. The 2005 census was delayed to 2006 due to tsunami of 2004, leaving a gap of 8 years between the last two censuses. The 2014 marks the 29th census conducted in the Maldives. Census provides a benchmark data for all demographic, economic and social statistics in the country to the smallest geographic level. Such information is vital for planning and evidence based decision-making. Census also provides a rich source of data for monitoring national and international development goals and initiatives.

  • The Shark Fisheries of the Maldives

    The Shark Fisheries of the Maldives

    The Shark Fisheries of the Maldives A review by R.C. Anderson and Hudha Ahmed Ministry of Fisheries and Agriculture, Republic of Maldives and Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. 1993 Tuna fishing is the most important fisheries activity in the Maldives. Shark fishing is oneof the majorsecondary fishing activities. A large proportion of Maldivian fishermen fish for shark at least part-time, normally during seasons when the weather is calm and tuna scarce. Most shark products are exported, with export earnings in 1991 totalling MRf 12.1 million. There are three main shark fisheries. A deepwater vertical longline fishery for Gulper Shark (Kashi miyaru) which yields high-value oil for export. An offshore longline and handline fishery for oceanic shark, which yields fins andmeat for export. And an inshore gillnet, handline and longline fishery for reef and othe’r atoll-associated shark, which also yields fins and meat for export. The deepwater Gulper Shark stocks appear to be heavily fished, and would benefit from some control of fishing effort. The offshore oceanic shark fishery is small, compared to the size of the shark stocks, and could be expanded. The reef shark fisheries would probably run the risk of overfishing if expanded very much more. Reef shark fisheries are asource of conflict with the important tourism industry. ‘Shark- watching’ is a major activity among tourist divers. It is roughly estimated that shark- watching generates US $ 2.3 million per year in direct diving revenue. It is also roughly estimated that a Grey Reef Shark may be worth at least one hundred times more alive at a dive site than dead on a fishing boat.
  • Chapter 7 Power Supply

    Chapter 7 Power Supply

    CHAPTER 7 POWER SUPPLY 7.1 Introduction The tsunami of the 26th December, 2004 caused severe damage to the electrical infrastructure of the country. It completely disrupted the power supply in at least 95 islands, which is about 48% of all islands with electricity. However, by 6th January, 2006, almost 98% of inhabited islands have their electricity supply temporarily recovered and restored. In almost all the affected islands, the damage occurred to the underground distribution network rather than generation facilities. Seawater deteriorated underground cables and cable joints in terms of insulation. Although there is no official record, it is reported that more power interruptions are caused by the damage to the distribution system. On the other hand, most generators are operating in satisfactory conditions. Table 7.1 shows the generators that have been procured and installed in Laamu Atoll by International Red Cross. Table 7.1 Generators Procured by International Red Cross in Laamu Atoll Island Capacity Delivery date Isdhoo 60kVA 2005/1/22 Isdhoo-Kalaidhoo 60kVA 2005/1/22 Maabaidhoo 60kVA 2005/1/22 Hithadhoo 80kVA 2005/2/27 Dhanbidhoo 80kVA 2005/2/27 Gan-Mukurimagu 150kVA 2005/2/27 Fonadhoo 80kVA 2005/2/27 The project aims to restore and rehabilitate the low voltage (400/230V) power distribution systems in five islands (Isdhoo, Isdhoo-Kalaidhoo, Maabaidhoo, Gan-Mukurimagu and Maavah) in Laamu Atoll, considering the extent of the tsunami damage and future sustainability of power supply by the island committees. 7.2 Present Conditions The people who live in the tsunami affected areas are currently suffering from frequent power outages, because the temporary cables and distribution boxes are not appropriately designed in consideration of existing load current.
