Internship Testimony – Ms. Ines
We were delighted to host Ines, a graduate of the University of Louvain la Neuve in Belgium, who completed her internship with us on 7th November 2025.
“I had the amazing opportunity to complete a 2-month internship at the Blue Economy Research Institute (BERI) at the University of Seychelles. During my time there, I worked on a project studying beach erosion on Mahé, visiting 21 different beaches and collecting 130 sand samples, which we analyzed in the lab for grain size and composition. I also contributed to data collection for mapping a seagrass meadow and took part in a SeyCCAT workshop on seagrass monitoring and restoration. The team was incredibly welcoming, and this experience sparked a strong passion in me for conserving the Seychelles’ unique and precious natural heritage.”
