Who we are

A Maldivian mariculture company, built on eco-friendly aquaculture

Maritoll Pvt Ltd is a Maldivian company committed to eco-friendly aquaculture. We farm the ocean the way island communities always have — working with the lagoon, not against it — paired with modern, sustainable methods suited to our environment.

Our mission is a national one: to reduce the seafood the Maldives imports, to create good jobs on the islands, and to strengthen the country’s food security. We start with seaweed and mud crab, and we are building towards a broader portfolio of responsibly farmed marine species.

What we farm

One company, a growing mariculture portfolio

We farm more than one thing. Each line is chosen to be sustainable, to substitute imports, and to create island livelihoods.

● Active

Seaweed

Eucheuma Cottonii

Premium tropical red seaweed, grown on lines in sheltered lagoons and naturally sun-dried — a renewable crop that needs no land, fresh water or feed.

Mud crab

Scylla serrata

Premium live mud crab, raised and conditioned to resort-grade quality in a clean, land-based recirculating system — reliable local supply, landed fresh.

Why mariculture, and why Maritoll

Our work is guided by a simple commitment: farm the ocean in a way that is good for the Maldives and good for the sea.

Food security

The Maldives imports most of its food. Every kilo we farm at home is food the country no longer has to ship in.

Local jobs

Mariculture creates skilled, year-round work on the islands — income from the ocean that stays in the community.

Eco-friendly by design

Low-impact methods — closed-loop water, no land clearing, minimal inputs — chosen to protect our reefs and lagoons.

Sustainable & scalable

Renewable crops and recirculating systems that can grow responsibly — island by island, species by species.
