In honour of Ocean’s Day, participate in the Seychelles Ocean Fair, A Sustainable Ocean, an initiative of the Danny Faure Foundation.  Events on 7-8 June 2024.

The Ocean Fair is an initiative of the Danny Faure Foundation (DFF) to celebrate World Ocean Day which takes place annually on 8 June. The objective of the Ocean Fair is to sensitize the public on the importance of working towards having a sustainable ocean. As an island nation, the Ocean plays a vital role in the economy and culture of Seychelles. A prosperous coastal economy depends on the sustainable use of coastal and marine resources. The Ocean Fair will include the participation of governmental institutions, NGOs, educational institutions, agencies, local visual artists, and artisans. It will feature informational materials, educational games, and talks on the environment by experts. Art and crafts that have been inspired by the Ocean and made by Seychellois artists and artisans will be on sale.

Watch the livestream from the Opening Ceremony on Friday 7 June plus interviews with participating partners and organisations including SeyCCAT and the SMSP.  Forward to the 2hrs and 45 mins in the YouTube video for the interview with Helena Sims, SMSP Project Manager.
