thundi


beautiful, isn't it?

it may be huge compared to most beaches in the maldives.. but what remains now is less than half the size it was 50 years ago...


its been disappearing slowly...

this being the only affordable source of sand used for construction in fuvamullah... unless there's an alternative source (maybe it could be imported from india or someplace n sold at reasonable prices at STO(?) shops in the island?), the beach will continue dwindling, and soon it may be nothing but a distant memory...


already signs of erosion is being seen all around the island... all the more reason why we have to act before its too late...
