The first word that comes to mind when I think about Mauritius is beautiful. The marine life is beautiful, the landscape is beautiful, and the people are beautiful – inside and out. From the moment I landed into Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam International Airport, I was made to feel welcome. At every turn, you are […]
So, it has been just shy of a month of my time on Mahe working at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles, and not to sound completely cliché but it totally flew by. The first day, arriving down onto the beach at Petite Anse and getting to call this beautiful place my office feels somewhat surreal. The […]
It’s hard to put into words the amazing and memorable experience I had at Four Seasons Resorts Seychelles at Desroches Island. I went to Desroches for two weeks and left the island full of beautiful memories. My first day, fellow Marine Educator Hannah and I joined the Island Conservation Society team (Matt and Annabelle) for […]
Coral reefs all around the world are in trouble. In the last 50 years we have already lost approximately 27% of corals globally, and some predictions suggest that we will lose 90% of the all world’s corals by 2050. During the 2016 global mass bleaching event, caused by the El Niño Southern Oscillation, Seychelles lost, […]
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 […]
It is fast approaching the three-year anniversary of our Reef Restoration Project here in Petite Anse, Seychelles and we wanted to talk more about the history of corals in Seychelles and highlight some of the trials, tribulations and triumphs of our Reef Restoration Project. 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 […]
