The atlas also summarises the findings of many researchers to help readers understand more about the current state of Maldives’ marine environment.

According to Timothy Godfrey, the author and Managing Director of Atoll Editions, the publications are regularly updated to include new information.

These were mostly described prior to the first major coral bleaching event in 1998 and remain as a record of that time when our coral reefs were healthier,” he adds.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Godfrey says the Divers and Travellers Maps have been expanded into north, central and south in separate maps. They are waterproof and designed to be useful for divers and travellers. The new Resort Map of Maldives is a single map that gives an overview of the atolls, resorts, guest house islands and protected marine areas.
