It is the administrative capital of Shaviyani Atoll. HistoryMilandhoo was uninhabited in 1997, when the Maldive's Minister of Atolls Abdulla Hameed launched a project to construct houses there and relocate residents from the neighboring island Maakandoodhoo, where the water had become contaminated.[2] The resettlement was hastened in 2004, when the Boxing Day tsunami severely damaged Maakandoodhoo.[3] The government officially recognized Milandhoo as an inhabited island on 20 March 2005. With more than 2140 residents, it is now the most populous island in Shaviyani Atoll. It became the atoll's administrative capital on 26 October 2009. GeographyThe island is {{convert|235.12|km|mi nmi|0|abbr=on}} north of the country's capital, Malé.[4] Milandhoo is at 06°17′05″N 73°14′36″E in the southeast of Shaviyani atoll between Maakandoodhoo and Nalandhoo. Covering 126 hectares, Milandhoo is the largest island in the atoll.[3] In northwestern Milandhoo is a lake, Sikundi Kulhi ("Prawn Lake"), so named because of its abundant prawns and shrimp, which are transparent and up to {{convert|1.5|in|mm}} long. Barracudas and a few other fish species also inhabit the lake, while crabs and hermit crabs live around its shore. Sikundi Kulhi is about {{convert|350|ft|m|abbr=on}} long, {{convert|250|ft|m|abbr=on}} wide, and up to {{convert|5|ft|m|abbr=on}} deep. Clay deposited at its center is used for traditional medicine. Bottle gourd plants, ironwood, sea hibiscus and mangroves are common nearby, while great morinda and coconut palm are rare.{{Citation needed|date=January 2012}} In southwestern Milandhoo is a pond, Rayy Kulhi ("Red Pond"), so named because debris from bottle gourd plants and mangroves in the surrounding swamp redden its water. It is smaller and shallower than Sikundi Kulhi, but a popular picnic destination.{{Citation needed|date=January 2012}} Demography{{Historical populations|align = center |2006 |1637 |2014 |1785 |footnote = 2006-2014: Census populations |source = [5] }} EconomyAgriculturePlantain is Milandhoo's main agricultural product and has been grown commercially there since 2006, on farms from {{convert|2000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} to {{convert|12000|sqft|m2|abbr=on}} in size. Farmers sell the plantains throughout Shaviyani Atoll and in Malé. Clearing for agriculture has been causing deforestation.{{Citation needed|date=January 2012}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://statisticsmaldives.gov.mv/nbs/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Census-Summary-Tables1.pdf|title=Table PP5: Resident Population by sex, nationality and locality (administrative islands), 2014|page=33|work=Population and Households Census 2014|publisher=National Bureau of Statistics|accessdate=10 August 2018}} 2. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120105172755/http://www.seedsasia.org/eng/Maldives%20base%20Line%20Study%20Report.pdf |date=January 5, 2012 }} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://mafs-online.org/mafs_wp/2011/states-atolls-todays-featured-atoll-shaviyani/ |title=States & Atolls: Today’s featured atoll: Shaviyani – Maldivian American Friendship Society |publisher=Mafs-online.org |date=2004-12-26 |accessdate=2014-05-17}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://boulter.com/gps/distance/?from=4.175278+73.508889&to=6.284722+73.243333&units=k|title=Coordinate Distance Calculator|work=Boulter.com|accessdate=10 August 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://statisticsmaldives.gov.mv/yearbook/2017/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2017/08/3.3.pdf|title=Table 3.3: Total Maldivian Population by Islands|work=National Bureau of Statistics|accessdate=10 August 2018}} External links
