Seychelles’ focus under GBW spans offshore atolls, coral reefs, and island biodiversity. Initiatives integrate ocean acidification monitoring, invasive species eradication, and marine spatial planning, combining ecosystem restoration with sustainable blue economy practices. These interventions ensure ecosystems are resilient while supporting local livelihoods and climate adaptation.
Collaboration is central: government agencies, NGOs, research institutions, local fishers, ecotourism operators, and youth groups actively participate. Key partners, including GBW, ODISEA, and ICS, provide scientific support, logistical expertise, and capacity-building for policy engagement at both regional and global levels.
The impacts are substantial: seabird populations have rebounded following eradication of invasive species, ocean acidification data informs national climate models and global reporting under SDG 14.2, and over 400 youth have been trained as ocean stewards. Seychelles exemplifies GBW’s model of integrating science, policy, and community to achieve sustainable, measurable outcomes.
