Maldives
As an atoll nation that is 99% ocean, the Republic of Maldives is a country rich in marine biodiversity. It contains about 4,500 km2 of coral reefs, which is about 3% of the world鈥檚 total coral reef area, with over 250 recorded species of coral, over 1,100 species of fish, 5 species of marine turtle and at least 20 species of marine mammals.
