Dhiraagu dedicates December calendar page to Maldivian fishery on fishermen's day

Dhiraagu's 2025 calendar, titled "Minivankan Mathy Abadhah", has dedicated its December page to Maldivian fisheries and the deep bond between Maldivians and the sea.

The dedication of the December page to fishing coincides with Fishermen's Day, which is observed today - December 10th. To mark Fishermen's Day, Dhiraagu also shared a special video across social media platforms.

The video features engaging information about the relationship between Maldivians and tuna. It explores the history of fishing in the Maldives, noting that it was the determination and courage of Maldivian ancestors that led them to venture into the open ocean using their own vessels to fish for tuna, the fastest type of fish, moving beyond the reliance solely on reef fish. The video also highlights the various types of fish commonly caught through the country's sustainable pole-and-line fishing method.

The "Minivankan mathy abadhah" 2025 calendar was compiled to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Maldives' independence. Accordingly, each month of the calendar is dedicated to a different symbol of national identity, connecting it to Maldivian culture and traditions.

Dhiraagu continues to prioritize and work to engage the public in preserving and promoting Maldivian culture and heritage through such initiatives.
