Africa : Seychelles Seychelles History Nobody lived on the Seychelles until the 17th century. In 1609, a British East India ship made landfall, and in the next few years shiploads of pirates moved their operations to the Indian Ocean from the Caribbean and used the islands as their base. In 1742 the governor of Mauritius, Mah© de La Bourdonnais, sent a ship to check out the islands. Ship's captain Picault named the main island after his governor and laid the way for the French to claim the islands 12 years later. In 1770 the first load of French settlers and slaves arrived on the island and started growing spices, cassava, sugar cane, coffee, sweet potatoes and maize, as well as harvesting the giant tortoise. By the end of the 18th century, the islands were looking pretty choice and the British were taking an interest. The governor at the time, de Quinssy, lowered the French flag and gave in when attack looked imminent, but the British sailed on and de Quinssy raised the flag again. This happened 12 times until 1814, when Britain took charge of the Seychelles after the Napoleonic Wars. The main feature of British rule was an increase in the number of slaves and high-class political prisoners - French remained the main language and French culture lived on.

Introducing the Regional Seas Programme of Eastern Africa: P icking up pace by Rolph Payet The great currents of the Indian Ocean bathe and nourish the coastline of our extensive region, which stretches from Somalia to the Republic of South Africa and seaward to the island states of the western Indian Ocean. Compared to many regions, ours is largely in a pristine state, although it is increasingly threatened by a variety of human activities. These include rapid and unplanned urbanization, discharge of untreated municipal wastewater, industrial effluent in near shore waters and destructive fishing practices. Eastern Africa joined the Regional Seas Programme in 1980, and five years later the countries of the region (Comoros, France/Reunion, Kenya, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles and United Republic of Tanzania) adopted the Nairobi Convention and Action Plan along with protocols on pollution emergencies and on protected areas and wildlife. After a slow period when resources were scarce, the programme has again picked up pace. In 1996 the Convention entered into force. A year later the Regional Coordinating Unit was inaugurated in the Seychelles and Contracting Parties to the Convention held their first meeting. To date all nine East African countries have ratified the Convention and South Africa has asked to join.
