Guarding the lagoons, wetlands and coastline of the south-east
Eco-Sud is a Mauritian environmental non-governmental organisation based in the south-east of the island. Its work centres on the protection of the Blue Bay marine area and the Pointe d’Esny wetland, and it has long been one of the more visible civil-society voices on coastal development, lagoon water quality and the protection of Ramsar-listed wetland in Mauritius.
Alongside advocacy, the organisation runs practical conservation work — mangrove replanting, lagoon and beach clean-ups, wetland monitoring — and an environmental education programme for schools and community groups in the south and south-east.

The quarterly lagoon clean-up removed 1.1 tonnes from the Blue Bay shoreline and the wetland edge. As always, the largest single category by count was plastic bottles and by weight was construction debris.
Next clean-up is in eight weeks. Groups of ten or more, please register in advance so we can size the boats.

Forty-one volunteers on Saturday, and 3,800 propagules in the ground across two sections of the fringe. Thank you to everyone who stood in the mud for six hours.
Survival check on the first section planted last quarter came back at 78 per cent, which is well ahead of what we budgeted for. The losses cluster in one channel where the current is stronger than the survey suggested — we are replanting that stretch with taller stock rather than propagules.
