A short-term action plan up to December 2014 has also been developed and shared
with the mentoring team.
On the Mauritius side a lot of significant progress has been made on the Mauritius
component. These include mobilisation of school children, teachers and women
and engaging them in activities of awareness of coral bleaching, among others.
Key links have been made with the ARGO Float initiate (a climate change
monitoring group based in USA and with a device on the Mauritius waters), the
Mauritius Marine Conservation Society and The Oceanography Department. There is
also collaboration with the Seychelles National Parks Authority to ensure that the
project is being implemented. Clean up activities are taking place at schools and in
the community. Workshops with teachers on climate change have been organised
mostly in Mauritius but have also started in Seychelles. Climate change education is
included in the national curriculum in schools by the Ministry of Education, and the
CCA change project and associated processes rides on this.

Mrs. Christine Meme who works for hotels on the coast and dives for photography
and video filming of the coral reefs, has taken place.

improved considerably as the cross-border communication is now happening
frequently. Madagascar joined the initiative in June 2014 and has made progress
