Hoping to produce more Maldives #Datavisualization in 2022. Here is one I made last year, experimenting a #dataviz type to depict island distributions and associated features. Showing >1k islands spread over 850km with all these info on a map makes it too cluttered. #RStats

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our DDG for Mariculture Research, Hassan Shakeel. A pioneer in mariculture, he dedicated 40 years to MMRI, mentoring many and shaping the field. May Allah (SWT) grant him Jannatul Firdaus and give strength to his family and loved ones.

Over the last two days, 15 field samplers from six major tuna landing sites were trained on data collection protocols to gather fishery and tuna length frequency data. MMRI is working with MSPEA to enhance efforts in collecting scientific data from tuna fisheries.

Meet Chromis abadhah! A new deep-reef species of "Nilamehi" from the Maldives described in collaboration with @calacademy funded by @ROLEX Perpetual Planet Initiative. Congrats to our colleague @BappuNajeeb for his work in this addition to our inventory of local marine life.

Meet Chromis abadhah, a new species from the Maldives that our team just described in collaboration with @MMRI_Maldives! The name abadhah means ‘perpetual’ in Dhivehi, to recognize @ROLEX Perpetual Planet initiative, which funded our work there. forbes.com/sites/grrlscie…

Meet Plectranthias raki, a beautiful new perchlet from #mesophotic reefs in the Maldives. The name, raki, roughly means "shy" in the Dhivehi language, and we chose this name because these fish hide quickly when they see us! #ichthyology doi.org/10.3897/zookey…
