Risk Assessment and Strategies for Seaport Resilience in Seychelles

Implementing Partner: Nature Seychelles

Project name: The Blue Economy and Climate Change: Risk Assessment and Adaptive Strategies for Improved Seaport Resilience to Climate Change in Seychelles

The project evaluates current and future climate risks to Seychelles’ ports, identifying vulnerabilities that could disrupt operations and threaten national economic stability.

It supports integrating climate-adaptive policies into the Seychelles Ports Authority’s Strategic Plan and future expansions, including Port Victoria, to ensure long-term resilience.

The project proposes targeted infrastructure adaptations, such as asset redesign and improved flood defences, to strengthen port resilience and enhance operational efficiency.

2

Strengthened policies, strategic planning, and targeted infrastructure investments, including flood defences, stormwater management, and structural upgrades, reduce climate risks, drive long-term port sustainability, and guide future expansions through proactive adaptation measures.

3

Economic and environmental benefits extend to over 100,000 residents of Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue, supporting job creation, business continuity, and ecosystem preservation while fostering South-South cooperation through knowledge exchange with India.
