At Maandhoo, Horizon Fisheries has built an entire city with all necessary facilities for the operation and accommodation for more than 1000 employees.

Pole and line; one hook, one line, one fishermen, one fish caught at a time is the most ecofriendly and sustainable method of fishing. The practice of environment friendly fishing has been prehistoric in Maldives, passing on the principles to later generation with no bycatch and avoiding interactions with endangered, threatened and protected (ETP) species.
