Enlightened by our Manta conversation with Meral at InterContinental Maldives Maamunagau Resort.

World Manta Day is the perfect time to release our latest episode of Maldives Calling, as we celebrate these gentle giants and help protect their future here in the Maldives. It was such a great pleasure to chat to Meral Hafeez, Project Manager for the Manta Trust’s Conservation Programme in Raa Atoll. Whether young or bold, we’re all truly thrilled by our meetings with these masterpieces of our natural world. As such, we’re sure you’ll find our conversation enlightening as we discover more about Maamunagau Lagoon, the Manta Trust’s conservation work and the best places to get up close with these incredibly magnificent creatures.

If, like our founder Julia, you’ve encountered mantas in their natural environment, we’re sure you’ll never forget this glorious, life- affirming experience. There are lots of ways to support the Manta Trust in their work throughout the Maldives - all the information you need is @
