As a young Seychellois, I have extreme passion for marine life. When I first heard about WiseOceans I always wondered what they do without realising that one day I would be part of this amazing team who also share this interest. During my days with WiseOceans I have been working with Tania, the Reef Restoration […]
It’s been just over a year since I started working for WiseOceans. I’ve loved working as Communications Officer, but now I am changing roles and moving overseas to be a Marine Educator at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles. As Communications Officer my role included working on the WiseOceans website, particularly the jobs and events pages and […]
Going back to Italy for holidays was of course amazing. I spent time with my family and friends, ate all the good food possible, gained 2 kgs (of course!), brought back some divine chocolate treats from Italy to share with my colleagues, and the time ran so fast I cannot believe it’s already gone! However […]
Hello there! I have been working with the WiseOceans team at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles during weekends for three months and now as part of my school training, I am starting the second week of a full time work placement with WiseOceans, which will last a month.

Corals, and the reefs that they create are notoriously complex organisms – not for nothing are they called the rainforests of the sea. Coral restoration projects have been around for […]
And…it’s come to that time of the year, the time to say goodbye. What an amazing year it has been so far! I can’t believe it is already going to end. I remember the first time I saw Mahè, when Lindsay drove me to Petite Anse from the airport, palm trees on one side, crystal […]
I was absolutely delighted to be asked to join the WiseOceans team at Four Seasons Resort Seychelles and couldn’t wait to get stuck into my new role as a Marine Educator! Looking back at my first month here in Seychelles, I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone and how much has happened! Of course I […]
When using education as a tool for long-term conservation, it gives us the flexibility to engage with a wide range of age groups.
