Our Reef Restoration Project here in Petite Anse, Mahé, Seychelles celebrates its 4th anniversary on 26th March 2019! So I thought I’d talk about what it is like to be the Reef Restoration Project officer, overseeing the day to day care of our corals and giving them the best helping hand possible. The first […]
Joining the WiseOceans team has literally been a dream coming true! I remember seeing a picture of WiseOceans Marine Educator Jyodee collecting a ‘coral of opportunity’ on the official Facebook page of WiseOceans. I did not even know what that meant but my heart just cheered and I knew I had to be part of […]
The main reason behind leaving Mauritius was the desire to explore new waters and coming to Seychelles proved to be the best choice. I reached Mahé during the night and could not enjoy the beauty of Seychelles yet. I was first welcomed by the amazing Ben Taylor (Education and Outreach Manager of WiseOceans Seychelles) and eventually […]
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.

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 […]
