AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoSeychelles Environment & Tourism: Seychelles marked a big win for cruise sustainability and demand, with the 2025-26 cruise season ending on a high note: over 40 cruise ship calls, up sharply from just six in 2024-25, plus eight maiden calls and a push toward smaller, premium and expedition vessels to ease pressure on sites and the environment. Biodiversity & Invasives: On Aldabra, ranger-led drone surveys mapped invasive plants on Assomption Island, targeting sisal and covering 21 zones with tens of thousands of aerial images—another step in Seychelles Islands Foundation biodiversity work. Marine Protection Reality Check: A new Science Advances study warns that drifting fish aggregating devices can slip into marine protected areas, interacting with large parts of the global MPA network and leaving managers and communities to deal with stranded gear. Local Governance & Climate Finance: Seychelles’ CEFT committee mapped out its climate finance strategy as it takes on a steering role for the Parliamentarians for Climate Finance project, setting priorities for the rest of 2026. Education for Sustainability: Seychelles also appears in the wider SIDS push for climate-ready education, with UNESCO-linked efforts highlighting how sustainable learning can be built into policy and curricula.
