Protect Our Environment
Guard the islands, the ocean and the Coco de Mer
SUM will expand marine spatial planning, grow renewable energy, strengthen conservation and waste management, and protect the Coco de Mer as a national treasure in every Seychellois home.
The problem
Our environment is our identity, our tourism and our future, and it is under pressure from development, pollution and a warming ocean. The choices made now decide what the islands look like for our grandchildren. Stewardship is not a luxury for good times. It is the condition of everything else.

What SUM will do
Manage the ocean
A comprehensive marine spatial plan balancing fishing, tourism and conservation while safeguarding biodiversity for the long term.
Expand renewable energy
Solar farms, affordable household solar, wind and hydro through public-private partnership, to cut fuel imports, lower electricity costs and clean the air.
Strengthen conservation
Expanded marine and forest reserves, stricter enforcement against illegal fishing and deforestation, and modern waste management with real recycling.
Protect the Coco de Mer
As China guards its pandas, we will keep the Coco de Mer in Seychellois hands, encouraging every household to grow and preserve this national symbol.
How it works, step by step
Plan and manage the ocean
A comprehensive marine spatial plan balances fishing, tourism and conservation while safeguarding biodiversity for the long term.
Grow renewable energy
Solar farms, affordable household solar, wind and hydro through public-private partnership cut fuel imports, lower electricity costs and clean the air.
Strengthen conservation and waste
Marine and forest reserves are expanded, enforcement against illegal fishing and deforestation is tightened, and modern waste management brings real recycling.
Protect the Coco de Mer
As other nations guard their rarest species, Seychelles keeps the Coco de Mer in local hands and encourages every household to grow and preserve this national symbol.
In real life
Cleaner and cheaper energy, protected reefs and forests, less waste and pollution, and national treasures like the Coco de Mer secured as a source of identity and pride.
Affordable household solar and cheaper grid power cut the monthly bill, and every unit generated at home is money that stops leaving on a fuel ship.
Expanded reserves and real enforcement let the reef and its fish recover, protecting the catch and the tourism that the whole coast lives on.
Seychelles has abundant sun and a heavy fuel-import bill, so every solar unit generated at home is money saved and emissions avoided, which makes renewables pay for themselves over time. The build is delivered through public-private partnership, bringing private investment alongside public money.
On this article
Is renewable energy realistic for Seychelles?
Strongly. Abundant sun and a high fuel-import bill make solar especially compelling. Every unit generated at home is money kept and emissions avoided.
Why single out the Coco de Mer?
Because it is found nowhere else on earth and it is ours. Protecting it is protecting a piece of national identity that no other country can claim.
