As we look back on Coral Bleaching Awareness Month, observed in September, we highlight the importance of coral restoration and the continued protection of our reefs.

Through the Coral Restoration Project, 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 𝘌𝘤𝘰𝘴𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘙𝘦𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘭 𝘙𝘦𝘦𝘧𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘦𝘦𝘵 𝘢 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘊𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘍𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦, coral restoration activities are being carried out in the Blue Bay Marine Park.

During the warmer summer months, outplanting and nursery population activities are suspended whenever water temperatures exceed 30°C. This precaution helps minimise additional stress on corals at a time when they are particularly vulnerable to bleaching.

The project is funded by the Adaptation Fund with Groupe Beau Vallon as co-funder. It is directly implemented by the United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, in collaboration with Reef Conservation and Eco-Sud, the Albion Fisheries Research Centre (AFRC) and the Mauritius Oceanography Institute - MOI, both operating under the aegis of the Ministry of Blue Economy, Marine Resources, Fisheries and Shipping.

The workshop provided an opportunity to share key findings and achievements from activities conducted within the Jacotet watershed. Presentations focused on three Specific Project Objectives (SPOs): stakeholder engagement, socio-economic assessments and community perceptions; river health assessments, biodiversity surveys and eDNA findings; and capacity building, citizen science, and community engagement.

Bringing together stakeholders from different sectors, the workshop also gathered feedback and recommendations to support the development of the Jacotet Integrated Watershed Management Plan (IWMP) and strengthen collaboration for the future management and conservation of the area.
