On September 15, 2026, the crew of the boat "Khaleefa" from K. Gulhi began laboratory testing to verify whether a 10-kilogram white ambergris found approximately 30 miles off AA. Thoddoo is genuine.
On Tuesday, 15 September 2026, an object suspected to be ambergris was reported found near K. Gulhi. Work has commenced with the help of relevant authorities and experts to conduct tests to confirm whether this object found at sea is indeed genuine valuable ambergris. While the discovery of substances suspected to be ambergris in Maldivian waters is an occasional occurrence, the parties are currently examining matters necessary to determine further details about the item and its actual weight.
