The Seychelles has a reputation for protecting the environment. How important is the natural world to your nation?rnIt sustains our entire livelihood - both tourism and the fishing industry, National parks account for 51 per cent of our land, which is a world record.rnSomali pirates are active in the eastern Indian Ocean. Is that damaging activities around the country's coasts?rnYes. Piracy has posed a very serious problem for marine science - monitoring tuna stocks for example. Fishing boats have been able to continue fishing because they are now armed, but scientists have not been able to continue their work, which is of equal importance.
