Preserving Our Unique & Diverse Marine Life
At Cousine Island, we recognize the critical importance of protecting the rich marine life that surrounds our beautiful shores.
Our conservation efforts extend beyond the land, embracing the vibrant and diverse underwater world that defines the Seychelles. The marine ecosystem here is home to a wide array of species, from the colorful and intricate corals that form the foundation of our reefs to the fascinating marine mammals that navigate these waters. Our commitment to preserving this delicate balance is unwavering.

Conserving the rich oceans around us
To protect and sustain this marine environment, we have implemented a range of conservation initiatives. These include coral restoration projects, which are essential for rebuilding damaged reefs and supporting the myriad of species that depend on them. We also focus on monitoring and protecting endangered species, such as various types of marine mammals and fish, ensuring their populations remain healthy and sustainable. Additionally, we promote sustainable fishing practices that help preserve fish stocks and maintain the overall health of the ocean.
Our work is supported by collaborations with marine biologists and conservation organizations. Together, we conduct extensive research to better understand the complexities of our marine ecosystems and develop effective conservation strategies. This research is vital for making informed decisions that benefit both the environment and the communities that depend on it.
