Notre Histoire
Née d'un lien profond avec les eaux des Seychelles, S.T.O.P transforme l'urgence de « stop » en élan — restaurer les récifs coralliens, éduquer les communautés et construire un avenir durable pour notre océan.
Pourquoi Nous Existons
Les Seychelles dépendent du tourisme et de la pêche — deux secteurs qui reposent sur des récifs coralliens sains. Le changement climatique provoque une perte alarmante de la couverture corallienne à travers les îles. La prochaine génération doit être activement impliquée dans la protection et la restauration de ces écosystèmes vitaux. C'est pourquoi nous avons créé la première Salle de Classe Sous-marine des Seychelles — combinant éducation marine, restauration pratique des récifs et engagement communautaire pour former une génération de gardiens de l'océan qui protégeront leurs récifs pour les décennies à venir.
Notre Parcours
D'un projet de recherche à Praslin à une organisation de conservation marine de premier plan — chaque année apporte de nouvelles étapes dans notre mission de protection des récifs des Seychelles.
The Beginning
Vicky Durand launches coral restoration research in Praslin, documenting reef degradation and pioneering restoration techniques tailored to Seychelles waters.

Notre Approche
Nous combinons restauration récifale pratique, éducation, science citoyenne et tourisme durable pour créer un impact durable aux Seychelles.
Coral Restoration
Building artificial reef structures and cultivating coral nurseries to restore degraded reef ecosystems around Praslin and neighboring islands.
Marine Education
Delivering hands-on ocean science programs to local schools through our Underwater Classroom initiative, inspiring the next generation of conservationists.
Community Science
Training local volunteers in reef monitoring, species identification, and data collection, turning community members into citizen scientists.
Reef Monitoring
Conducting regular underwater surveys to track coral health, water quality, and biodiversity, ensuring data-driven conservation decisions.
Recycling & Cleanup
Organizing coastal and underwater cleanups, and partnering with local businesses on recycling programs to reduce marine pollution at its source.
Sustainable Tourism
Developing eco-tourism dive experiences that fund conservation while educating visitors about reef ecology and responsible ocean practices.
