Data was produced by the Climate Science & Data Management Section within the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate Change in Seychelles under the GoS-UNDP-GEF project titled ‘Expansion and Strengthening of the Protected Area Subsystem of the Outer Islands of Seychelles and its Integration into the broader land and seascape (2014-2020)’. Data ownership lies with the Island Conservation Society.

These data were collected in partnership with University of Seychelles and Blue Economy research Institute as part of the Long Term Marine Monitoring Program at Denis, Fregate and North Islands, Seychelles, supported by the The Seychelles Conservation and Climate Adaptation Trust (SeyCCAT) and generously funded by Denis Private Island, Fregate Island Private and North Island LTD.
