Growing where land and sea meet, mangroves are adapted to survive in harsh conditions. They are coastal superheroes, providing a wide array of goods and services. On July 26, we celebrate these special trees that line our coastlines. You may wonder why they deserve a day to themselves. Here is why.
"The fish, oh my. They are my favourites. Snappers, parrotfish, angelfish, butterflyfish, oriental sweetlips, mullets, trevally – the list is endless!"
Cousin Island Special Reserve has long been a sanctuary for diverse marine life. Recent studies by Nature Seychelles, in collaboration with the University of Western Australia and the Save Our Seas Foundation, have highlighted the potential effectiveness of area protection and coral reef restoration in supporting shark and predatory fish communities.
It is noddy breeding season on Cousin Island Special Reserve and thousands of nesting Lesser and Brown Noddys have flocked to the island. The seabirds can be seen and heard all over the island; engaging in courtship, nesting on trees and rocky cliffs, and hovering and dipping into the ocean to catch prey.
Nature Seychelles and the Ministry of Agriculture, Climate Change and Environment (MACCE) are pleased to announce the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on wetlands management in Seychelles. The MOU was signed on Monday, June 18th, 2024, by Nature Seychelles’ Chief Executive by Dr Nirmal Shah, and the Minister for Agriculture, Climate Change, and Environment, Flavien Joubert.
Since 1998.
