Marine Monitoring

Although marine monitoring is not one of the core projects on the Island, regular surveys have been conducted to keep track of reef health and resilience. This is particularly important with the ever- changing marine environment and the effects of climate change.

Our monitoring programme aims to grow into an extensive research programme — focusing on the benthic community, coral and fish populations and the overall resilience of the reef to large-scale disturbances in the Seychelles — we’re planning a second phase of our efforts in coral reef conservation as Cousine Island, including coral planting designed specifically to promote coral growth and provide habitat for reef and marine life
