New coastal cleanup and conservation initiative launched in Seychelles
Seychelles has launched a new community‑led coastal and wetland cleanup initiative in Anse Boileau to combat marine litter and restore vulnerable coastal ecosystems.
Seychelles has launched a new coastal and wetland conservation drive in Anse Boileau, focusing on removing plastic waste and invasive species from the shoreline and adjacent wetland areas. Volunteers from local communities, government agencies, and private partners are participating in regular cleanups and habitat restoration activities, including planting native mangroves and fruit trees. The initiative aims to reduce pollution flowing into the sea, protect critical marine habitats, and enhance coastal resilience to climate change. Organizers emphasize public education and long‑term stewardship to sustain the gains of the program across the wider Baie Lazare watershed area.
