Nellaidhoo is one of the inhabited islands of Haa Dhaalu Atoll administrative division and geographically part of Thiladhummathi Atoll in the north of the Maldives.
On Saturday 8 December 1821, an extremely strong cyclone hit Nellaidhoo and many other island of northern Maldives causing severe damage. More recently, in 2006 the government of the Maldives listed Nellaidhoo as one of the islands under significant threat from sea level rise due to global warming. The government planned to relocate the population to larger islands with more facilities and better protection against rising sea levels. On 6 September 2006, the residents of the island protested outside the island office as their opinion was not consulted beforehand regarding the relocation.[1]
