Hello everybody Frances here. This short video is briefly about our 2 days training in Mauritius with the Oceanographer Mr Vassen. As you will see in the video he was quiet impressed with our little group of 9 intelligent Blue Economy Ambassadors. During the 2 days training we learnt a lot about how Mauritius is using the ocean and we found both cons and pros. The reef itself was not so impressive compared to the reef back home. We went on a snorkeling and I was really surprised to see that there were a very small variety of fishes. The reef itself was super beautiful with so many new recruits of healthy corals. It was very sad to see that the reef was very deserted. The problem here was over fishing so the fishes don’t get to reproduce and so the population keeps declining. Mauritius does have beautiful reefs, its just that people don’t know how to balance and make development in a sustainable way. Its not late to act they still have time but I believe they should definitely start soon or else there will be very very few fishes on their reef.’
