Today the economy is flourishing, population growth is slowing, our indicators of health and education are the most favourable in the entire South Asian region and our exquisite islands are among the most highly coveted tourist destinations in the world. These outcomes are a result of several factors: enlightened leadership, rigorous development planning, the prudent management and investment of resources, and not least our unique religious and cultural identity that binds us together. And yet there is little room for complacency. Within the context of the changing world there are several new and existing challenges we face as a nation. -

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. -
Maldives: Dengue Outbreak
DREF operation n° MDRMV001 Maldives: Dengue GLIDE n° EP-2011-000078-MDV 13 December 2011 Outbreak The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. Summary: CHF 42,600 was allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) on 1 July 2011 to support the Maldivian Red Crescent (MRC) in the conduct of risk communication/disease prevention and vector control activities in 190 island communities in support of the national response to the dengue outbreak. Working closely with the ministries of health and education, MRC took the lead role in efforts to prevent the furthepread of the outbreak A Maldivian Red Crescent Society volunteer giving out information about through public awareness and dengue, 8 July 2010. Photo: MRCS information campaigns in all 190 communities and in schools, as well as through broadcast media (TV). It also carried out vector control activities through clean up campaigns in some island communities severely or moderately-affected by the dengue outbreak. Although MRC is a fairly new national society, widespread community acceptance has been found in all communities as MRC has received positive support from all Atoll and island councils in carrying out different tasks. -
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.
