Well the past week has been action-packed! On Friday, my colleague Savi Leblond officially opened his snorkel trail at Cerf Island Resort. It’s a beautiful trail situated in the marine park, and it promotes stricter enforcement of the marine park policies. Nearby, the hotel L’Habitation is following the resort’s example by contracting Savi to create a snorekelling trail for them too!
Also on Friday, the Seychelles Sea Turtle Festival was
officially opened at the Natural History Museum.
The festival itself took place on Saturday at Beau Vallon,
and the MCSS stall was a great success – with us staff members dressed up as
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I’m happy to report that there were many
families present at the event, and lots of children interested in learning more
facts about turtles. In fact, at our stall we made sure to encourage visitors to the stall to colour in drawings and fill in interesting facts about turtles that they had learned that day!
On Monday we had a visit from Friends of the Museum - the
children came into the centre and learned about the work we do and turtle
conservation before walking around the wetland. After lunch, we had turtle
games on the beach, and I think its safe to say that the children had lots of
fun!
In other news, our x-ray has arrived! Mark, the X-Ray
technician from PLH Medical Supplies is here to set it up and give some
training sessions to staff and vets alike over the course of this week. Read
the blog next week to find out more about the training!
