A number of resorts do more than simply employ marine biologists but they let them work on marine conservation programs. The Four Seasons Kuda Huraa has launched a turtle rearing program, where they raise baby turtles to juvenile size and then release them with satellite trackers. The Four Seasons Landaa Giravaru, meanwhile, runs a turtle rescue center to rehabilitate injured turtles (most often those that have been caught in fishing nets or that have ingested plastic bags that they mistook for jelly fish). Both programs offer a great educational opportunity to learn more about the endangered creatures and see them up close.
