In this episode (#9) Dr. Nirmal Shah, the CEO of Nature Seychelles and marine purist discusses Africa's blue economy and the need to invest resources and attention in the wake of the environmental disaster in the beautiful Indian Ocean island of Mauritius where 4000 tonnes of oil have been spilled in this world-renowned coral reefs. He admonishes travellers and tourists to support conservation efforts by upholding the ethics of responsible and sustainable tourism.
