Another disputable channel excavated in Meedhoo

Finally, the dream of average Meedhooans became a reality on Friday, after having excavated a long waited channel between Meedhoo and Hera. “Naturally the islands were separate before, we reclaimed to join it then as we felt necessary and now we feel it’s time to keep it separate again,” chanted the vast majority of Meedhoo public gathered near the excavation area. Albiet one faction of the island opposes the dredging of the channel and they accuse it politically driven.
However, the island chief Mr. Abdulla Rasheed officially executed the opening ceremony of dredging. Abdulla Rasheed is an instrumental figure in the development of Meedhoo. He works side by side with public’s sentiment, thereby deservedly holds a higher position in the community.
“In a near future this channel will become the main gateway for our fellow brothers and sisters of Fuvahmulah to enter into the Addu territory safely and quickly” Abdulla Ibrahim Didi excited. He justified that Fuvahmulah people will save huge sum of money on fuel expenses thereby reducing their travel time by thirty minutes. “On the other hand reef fishery will boom, erosion will be reduced and our lagoons will become clear like before,” he added. The northeast area behind Sunset and Wish Point Restaurent is almost dead. Few sea creatures survive in this particular area. The ocean current flows hardly thereby stopping the growth of algae and other plankton, which are the primary need for marine growth. As a result a foully smell preoccupies the region.
However, none did mention the foreseeable consequences of dredging such a channel now. The islands were separate before and reclaiming the land to join them had changed the environment dramatically. Critics say once the channel is dredged, the pressure made by huge waves from open sea will force the sand banks to accumulate into the harbor. They claim this could become disastrous for the existence of the harbour.
Two influential factions of the society disregarded their by political interests, are at the apple of discord. Despite, it had become a “must-go-and-watch” channel for the evening out goers of both Hulhudhoo and Meedhoo. According to the reliable sources, more than one thousand people had visited the area to see the channel and flow of ocean current yesterday alone. This could also be the beginning of attaining a reality to make a resort at Hera, something every single Meedhooans dreams of. View Photos
