Status And Trend Of Seychelles Coral Reefs: 2026
This report marks an important step in advancing the national understanding of coral reef status across Seychelles.
On Tuesday 26th May, the Seychelles Conservation and Climate Adaptation Trust (SeyCCAT) launched the Status and Trend of Seychelles Coral Reefs: 2026, one of the most comprehensive national coral reef assessments yet produced for the country.
Funded through the Global Fund for Coral Reefs under the Seychelles OCEAN’S RESOLVE Programme, the report consolidates dispersed monitoring records into a single, harmonised national evidence base. It draws on 3,778 observations across 285 unique survey sites contributed by 11 dataset providers, spanning the period from 1994 to 2025. Together these records represent a 32-year evidence base, the longest coral reef monitoring time series currently available at national scale in Seychelles.
