Seychelles: First-Ever Seychelles Coral Festival Draws Attention to Importance of Protection

The first-ever Seychelles Coral Festival was held recently by the Seychelles Parks and Garden Authority to share information about corals and the different projects undertaken to protect them.

The Aquaculture Department had a live display aquarium and several non-governmental organisations such as the Marine Conservation Society Seychelles , the Seychelles Islands Foundation and Nature Seychelles were present for the festival. The NGOs were giving information on projects they are implementing and how the public can participate in conservation.

The Grants and Fundraising officer for SeyCAAT, Diana Renaud, told SNA this festival is the ideal place to promote the Blue Grants Fund 8. "There's a lot of coral bleaching happening at the moment and this festival gets people thinking about these issues," she said.
