St. Brandon Project: Conservation of a Pristine Archipelago
Preserving a Unique Marine Environment
St. Brandon is one of Mauritius’ most remote and pristine regions, known for its rich biodiversity and high-quality fish. However, pollution, stranded boats, and illegal fishing threaten this unique ecosystem.
The Odysseo Foundation, in collaboration with the St. Brandon Conservation Trust, is dedicated to protecting the unique ecosystems of the remote St. Brandon archipelago. Known for its rich marine biodiversity and high-quality fisheries, the area faces threats from pollution, illegal fishing, and stranded vessels.
Together, the Foundation and the Trust have implemented a comprehensive approach to conservation, combining on-the-ground restoration efforts, scientific research, and partnerships with renowned institutions.
Key Activities Include:
Volunteer-Driven Ecosystem Restoration:
Volunteers contribute to habitat restoration, debris removal, and biodiversity monitoring, playing a vital role in preserving the archipelago’s fragile ecosystems.
Collaborations with Leading Institutions:
Partnerships with organizations like Globis, Oxford University, Curtin University, Kelonia, the University of Mauritius, and the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) bring expert knowledge and innovative solutions to conservation efforts.
Research and Monitoring:
Ongoing studies focus on biodiversity, habitat health, and identifying threats to support effective and sustainable management plans.
Through this combined effort, the Odysseo Foundation and the St. Brandon Conservation Trust aim to safeguard the archipelago’s natural heritage for future generations, ensuring its role as a sanctuary for biodiversity and sustainable livelihoods.
