This report presents a qualitative description of ecosystem services being provided by natural habitats. It lays the groundwork for a description of the factors affecting ecosystem services delivery – both favourably, in the sense of management to restore or enhance ecosystem services delivery, and negatively in the sense of summarizing human pressures and natural factors that contribute to a decline in ecosystem health or a decrease in ecosystem services delivery. Limited information regarding trends in ecosystem services delivery are available and where present, this information has both been summarized and used to discuss implications for future delivery of ecosystem services in the atoll and the wider Maldives region.
