I had a plan for this year and so far, it’s working out brilliantly! It’s a ‘significant’ birthday year for me and I wanted to be underwater on the day itself plus tick off a few marine-based bucket list items. My role in WiseOceans no longer requires me to be in the water on a […]
Desroches (one of the outer islands of the Seychelles archipelago) is famed for its natural beauty: its picture postcard perfect beaches, bright white powdery sand-lined with palm trees; its thriving underwater world, coral teaming with all manner of fish as far as the eye can see. Every day as we cycle around the island we […]
I have been living and working in Seychelles for just over one month now and it has gone so fast. I am enjoying all aspects of the job and I love how varied it is – you never get bored here. It’s great having a job where I can go into the ocean most days […]
I can’t believe I have been to Mauritius and back so quickly, one month flew by so fast. It was great to have the opportunity to work at the Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita as well as be home with my family. The best part in Mauritius was the snorkeling at Eau Bleu and […]
I’m fast approaching two months here in Seychelles with WiseOceans and I cannot believe how fast it has gone. Each day arriving at the beach makes me laugh a little in shock at my ‘office’. Petite Anse is a remarkably beautiful bay, even by Seychelles standards, with the picturesque fine white sand, azure water and […]

In 1997-98, Seychelles experienced a major setback in coral health when […]
It has been an amazing month spent at Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita as Skipper and Marine Educator Support in the WiseOceans team. It has been a great pleasure to participate in the Reef Restoration Project, where I got the opportunity to be involved in the rehabilitation of the reef, protection of the marine […]
This month has been full of adventures and new knowledge. Seychelles is such a beautiful island and I feel lucky to be able to call it home. My office is located on a beautiful beach called Petite Anse – white sand and turquoise water. This beautiful bay is full of marine organisms, my favorite are […]
We are very lucky to have three tortoises at Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita and although the focus of our work is on marine life we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to welcome the world renowned tortoise and turtle expert, Dr Jeanne Mortimer to the resort. The tortoises are a big attraction to all […]
As many of you will have discovered already, getting a career in marine conservation can be difficult without the right education or experience. At WiseOceans, we believe that an excellent way to gain experience is to volunteer on a marine conservation and research expedition. Expeditions can have a huge impact on people’s lives, whatever stage […]
