Researchers say the findings show what sustained conservation can achieve after the species was driven below 1,000. Marine Protection: Seychelles joined nine other countries at the Nairobi Convention meeting in Tanzania, backing regional plans to curb plastic pollution, protect seagrass and mangroves, and respond to marine pollution emergencies. Turtle Nesting: Hawksbill nesting season is underway on Île Plate, where conservation teams have recorded five successful nests since August 20 and are patrolling the shore twice daily. Public Broadcasting: Media freedom groups warn that the new Seychelles Broadcasting Corporation law could weaken editorial independence by giving the president a greater role in appointing the broadcaster’s leadership and board. Investment: Seychelles is promoting closer UAE ties to attract investment in areas including the blue economy and renewable energy, with officials stressing the need for bankable projects.
