A Government initiative to develop a marine aquaculture sector in the Seychelles
As Seychelles looks for ways to grow its economy further, the government steers towards the idea of Aquaculture (Mariculture).
Seychelles Aquaculture is a Government initiative to develop a marine aquaculture sector. Mariculture is a specialized branch of aquaculture involving the cultivation of marine organisms in sea water.
Two studies were conducted to determine the desirability of developing marine aquaculture in Seychelles. They revealed positive support for the development of an environmentally and socially responsible mariculture sector leading to the development of a Mariculture Master Plan (MMP), which started in 2011 and continues today.
The Mariculture Master Plan (MMP) is a tool “enabling the Seychelles to develop a sustainable marine aquaculture sector that is integrated into the country’s economic vision and respects the unique and sensitive nature of the marine environment.”
