AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoOcean Governance: The Nairobi Convention’s COP12 closed with 15 decisions to strengthen protection and sustainable use of the Western Indian Ocean. Seychelles joined the regional gathering, held as the convention marked 40 years of cooperation. Weather Data: Meteorology staff from Seychelles and three Indian Ocean neighbours trained in Seychelles to use free, open-source software to organise weather and water records—data that can support flood warnings and forecasts. Digital Services: Airtel Seychelles and the Transport Ministry will use mobile communications to share road-safety campaigns, traffic updates and transport advisories. Aldabra Conservation: A new survey by the Seychelles Islands Foundation and the University of Exeter estimates nearly 183,000 adult and young giant tortoises on Aldabra, the largest recorded population. Researchers say the figure reflects improved counting, not a sudden population boom. Atoll Resilience: Research suggests restoring seabirds and native vegetation could help low-lying atolls adapt to rising seas, offering a nature-based approach relevant to island communities.
