The waters that surround Seychelles are home to over 1,000 species
of fish and 300 species of coral. The islands are visited by giant
Whale Sharks and Manta Rays, and are home to the critically
endangered Hawksbill and Green Turtles. Its warm tropical waters
and coral reefs teeming with fish mean that Seychelles is a popular
diving destination. This lavishly illustrated book showcases the
extraordinary marine environment of Seychelles' islands. The
diverse marine habitats, including coral reefs, granite seascapes,
mangroves and seagrass beds, are home to vibrant communities of
marine fauna and flora. Underwater Eden encapsulates the wonder of
Seychelles' seas and highlights the creatures that call them home.
With the effects of climate change becoming increasingly apparent
throughout the world's oceans, the authors' stunning photographs
capture the beauty of Seychelles waters while they are still
vibrant and relatively undisturbed. Chapters on ecosystems,
turtles, fishes, Marine Protected Areas and conservation describe
and illustrate the marvels of this underwater world.
