Lhaviyani Turtle Festival

A two-day, large-scale community outreach event dedicated to raising awareness about marine conservation, with a special focus on sea turtles.

Day 1 features the Atoll Marine Symposium, where NGOs and marine conservation experts present on key ocean issues and engage in panel discussions.

Day 2 opens up to schools from across the Maldives, alongside the organizations from Day 1, to host interactive marine awareness stalls. These stalls include educational games and activities aimed at inspiring environmental stewardship.

Schools also participate in fun, eco-themed competitions such as Best Stall Design, Waste Sculpture, and Sand Sculpture. Additional optional contests—open to local residents—include recycled bag and dress making, traditional dance performances, and a plastic bottle collection challenge.
