Tackling Coastal Erosion, Gn. Fuvahmulah-Maldives
The island is about 4.5 km by 1.2 km with a submerged reef extending for about three km in a south east direction.
In the past Fuvahmulah was a small coral atoll whose southern end was open at a spot and the inside of the island was a saltwater lagoon forming a natural harbor. There is a spot on the southern end with a forest of a small islet, which indicates there was a small separate islet over there in ancient times.
