Last update: 9 hours agoOcean Science: A UN report warns that warming and changing ocean chemistry are weakening the sea’s ability to absorb carbon. It calls for better sensors, data and monitoring, especially in under-observed regions including the Indian Ocean. Conservation Skills: Seychelles trained 30 ministry staff in sea turtle monitoring, from identifying nesting activity and recording tracks to collecting data and tagging turtles. Aldabra Research: A study by the University of Exeter and the Seychelles Islands Foundation estimates about 180,000 giant tortoises live on Aldabra. Dense vegetation makes them difficult to count, so the figure is an estimate, but the research highlights the atoll’s conservation success. Regional Cooperation: At the Nairobi Convention’s COP12, Seychelles backed science-informed marine management, stronger regional partnerships and sustainable financing for ocean conservation and the blue economy.
