Historical lagoon trail discovery

In 2021, Coral Garden Conservation developed the Historical Eco Marine Trail Discovery, a boat tour aimed at educating both tourists and locals about the ecological and historical importance of Mauritius’ marine environment. This trail includes educational stops at various significant sites like Coral Garden, where the vital role of coral ecosystems is highlighted, the Clin Cambell Shipwreck from 1923, and the naturally beautiful and historically significant Maconde and Labonté Le Morne. Through these direct interactions with nature, the trail promotes a profound understanding and appreciation of the region’s marine biodiversity and the critical need for its conservation. Beyond merely conducting tours, CGC acts as an eco-guide, engaging in education and sensitization efforts about marine biodiversity, managing conservation initiatives such as endemic tree zones and participating in coral and seagrass surveys, and promoting sustainable practices like using solar and electric powered boats and minimizing disposable plastic use. These activities underscore CGC’s commitment to ethical, responsible, and sustainable operations, significantly contributing to the conservation of Mauritius’ marine ecosystems and encouraging a deeper environmental responsibility among all participants.
