Seychelles Fisheries Connectivity and Transport Pathways

Abstract

The project objectives are to: 1. Examine physical transport pathways and connectivity amongst the Seychelles’ multiple islands 2. Measure the influence of freshwater buoyant forcing relative to thermal forcing 3. Test multiple types of Lagrangian analysis tools against one another and compared to in-situ observations 4. Compare connectivity and transport to fisheries observations and future management 5. Develop an interactive tool that Seychelles managers and fisheries can use to guide decisions and improve community outreach and education
