About Maldives
The Maldives are an island state, consisting of over a thousand low-lying coral reef islands grouped into atolls straddling north and south of the equator. Due to this reason the Maldives are the world’s lowest country, the highest point on its territory reaching just 3 meters.
The Maldives archipelago consists of 26 atolls, uniting 1190 coral islands covering a territory of 90 000 square kilometers, which makes the Maldives one of the world's most parceled and scattered countries over a large area. It consists of coral reefs and sand stripes atop a submarine ridge 960 kilometers long that rises from the depths of the Indian Ocean.
Only 203 islands are inhabited, the largest one called Male’, where is situated the only city and the only port, the homonymous capital. Most of the islands are surrounded by coral reefs. Each atoll has approximately 5 to 10 inhabited islands; whereas the uninhabited islands of each atoll number approximately 20 to 60. The Maldives are also the lowest-lying country in the world, the highest point on its territory reaching just 2.3 meters. Some islands, however, have dunes which can reach 3 meters.
The temperatures of Maldives range between 24 and 33°C throughout the year. The air humidity is high, though the constant sea breezes reduce its effect. Two seasons dominate Maldives' weather: dry season in the winter and the rainy season in the summer.
The Maldives enjoys a climate that could easily be described as an eternal summer. The average air temperature throughout the year is around + 28°C, the water temperature being around + 27°C. The climate is partly influenced by dry and wet monsoons, but due to the close distance to the equator, seasonal changes have no such decisive effect as on the neighboring countries. The best time to visit the Maldives is the dry season between November and April, when the weather is hot and humid, sunny, with almost no rainfall.
The fishing industry is the second largest contributor of GDP after tourism. According to the national tradition and the words of the President, fishing is essential for the survival of the nation. The Maldives has an abundance of aquatic life and species of fish - tuna, barracuda, mahi-mahi (dolphin fish) and many others. Apart from its significance as an industry sector, fishing is also fun for both locals and tourists. It has been a major subsistence pattern of the people in Maldives for centuries.
Fishing industry played a leading role in the economy until 1985, when tourism shifted it to second place. Fishing and tourism however, remain interconnected, both relying primarily on the coral reef for their survival. About 22 000 people are involved in the fishing industry, one way or another.
