Reethi Beach Resort recently celebrated a significant achievement in its ongoing commitment to marine protection by releasing 80 healthy baby turtles into the Indian Ocean. This event, a testament to the resort’s dedication to turtle conservation, saw the young turtles eagerly making their way to their new ocean home, signifying a crucial step forward in their conservation efforts.

The release event, organized to boost awareness about turtle conservation, saw enthusiastic participation from both resort staff and guests. Many guests were profoundly moved, with some even shedding tears as they gently placed the baby turtles on the shoreline to begin their journey. For numerous attendees, this experience was a deeply emotional, once-in-a-lifetime moment that fostered a stronger connection to nature.

Valentin Osolos, General Manager of Reethi Beach Resort, expressed the resort’s commitment to marine conservation, stating, “Our pledge to ocean conservation is one of the core principles at Reethi Beach Resort. Events like these are a reflection of our dedication to protecting marine life. By engaging in these efforts, we not only help safeguard the environment but also provide our guests with meaningful opportunities to participate in conservation initiatives that ensure the survival of these remarkable species.”

One guest described their experience as life-changing, saying, “Holding the baby turtle in my hands and watching it swim into the ocean was truly unforgettable. I am incredibly grateful to have been part of this beautiful initiative, which has deepened my appreciation for the importance of conservation efforts.”

This successful turtle release is part of Reethi Beach Resort’s broader conservation strategy, in partnership with Ocean Fanatics Maldives. The resort actively practices sustainable methods and provides guests with opportunities to support initiatives aimed at protecting the planet and its delicate ecosystems. In line with nature’s cycle, these turtles are expected to return to their birthplace in the future to lay eggs, continuing the cycle of life and serving as a testament to the resort’s effective conservation efforts and the ongoing preservation of the Maldivian environment.
