Fishing remains a cornerstone of the Maldivian economy alongside tourism. The government promotes sustainable tuna fishing practices to maintain access to European and Asian markets.
The “blue economy” strategy includes marine conservation zones, reef protection, and eco-certification programs. International partnerships help fund ocean research and climate adaptation initiatives.
Economic diversification remains limited, but authorities aim to expand financial services and digital sectors while preserving marine ecosystems.
