Maldives stamps year 1986 WWF Sea – Coral Reef Fishes set

Maldives issued a set of stamps for the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) featuring Coral Reef Fishes. This was a popular theme for many countries participating in the WWF stamp program, given the Maldives’ rich marine biodiversity.

This set typically includes several individual stamps and often a miniature sheet (souvenir sheet) depicting various species of vibrant coral reef fish found in the Maldivian waters. Examples of fish that might be featured in such a set include:

• Moorish Idol (Zanclus cornutus)
• Regal Angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus)
• Maldives Anemonefish (Amphiprion nigripes)
• Emperor Angelfish (Pomacanthus imperator)

These stamps are highly sought after by collectors interested in:

• WWF stamp issues: As part of the global effort to raise awareness and funds for conservation through philately.
• Marine life/fish themes: Given the beautiful and diverse aquatic creatures depicted.
• Maldivian philately: As significant issues from the country.
