Overview
The islands of the Indian Ocean share an exceptional reef heritage built by coral reef builders. Coral reefs, a hotspot of marine biodiversity, are deteriorating under human pressures and climate change, leading to a loss of biodiversity and associated services such as fishing, coastal protection and tourism. Scientists are constantly warning about this degradation and […]
Venez découvrir le projet !Our objectives
Main objectives:
- Discover: transmission of scientific knowledge on coral reefs and other ecosystems through innovative approaches (e.g. educational games, art & science).
- To act: implementation of a concrete action for the protection of biodiversity and reefs, with the guidance of professionals.
- Cooperate between islands: expand its horizon, share its experiences with a network of actors, and strengthen the protection of reefs on a regional scale.
Expected results :
- Creation of 6 MEAs (1 per island) and implementation of conservation actions.
- Production of educational sheets adapted to local contexts.
- Creation of a multi-stakeholder network committed to the sustainable management of the marine environment.
Our news
🇸🇨Seychelles🇸🇨 September'26This week the students started an exciting new project. They were learning about story writing. This is a collaborative story project. A mind map gives them an idea and keeps the students on track. It helps them to decide where the story should go, who will be the main characters and what the encounters will be. And each story needs a story line; a scene, characters, a climax and a resolution. Who (characters), What (plot/conflict), Where (setting), When (time period), and Why (motivation or theme)....it will be exciting to see and to read with what the children come up! We'll keep you posted 📫 😉 🐋🐬🐟🐠🐡🦀INTERREG VI Indian Oceaprogram, whose managing authority is the Réunion Region in partnership with and by the French Office for Biodiversity (OFB).Region Réunion Academy Réunion Island Regional Biodiversity Agency Indian Ocean C#regionreunioni#coralconservationn#Interreg #IRDe#ecoschoolseychellesS#OFBe#EuropeanUniono#ameoni#ird_fro#commission_oceanindienc#ofbiodiversiteo#ecoschoolsseychelless#sey_ministry_of_education_e#ameoion #a#ameoar#coralconservationnservation @yesconsulting_ @sey_ministry_of_education @Seychelles Ministry Fisheries and Marine Sciences @Commission Océan Indien (COI)@ORB@Interreg Eu@Angence biodiversité @IOC Indian Ocean Commission @ESD Education for Sustainable Development

🪸 AMEO Comores 🇰🇲 Club Nature 📌 Pendant les vacances du mois d'août, le club nature a organisé trois séances de sensibilisation et d’éducation environnementale. ✅ Les enfants: - Découvrent les animaux qui vivent dans le récif corallien 🪸 à partir des images; - Reproduisent ces images pour avoir la facilité de reconnaître ces animaux; - Comprennent les fonctionnement des écosystèmes marins et côtiers; ✅ Ils apprennent l’importance de la protection de l’environnement que l’équipe animatrice qualifie directement de « vie », « Maecha » en comorien.
