In 1997 and 1998 there was a mass coral bleaching event in the Maldives. Since then, Maldivians have turned to Reef Balls to help in coral restoration efforts. Lead by the Four Seasons Resort, several projects have been realized and many more are being considered. The Boxing Day Tsunami impacted the Maldives and Reef Ball Foundation is working to obtain funding to further assist in Maldivian reef restoration efforts.
