Shoreline in the Seychelles
Environmental pressures in the Seychelles, a group of granitic islands located in the Indian Ocean, are greatest on the coastal plain where over 80% of the country's flat land occurs. Marine and coastal ecosystems of the Seychelles are threatened by the effects of climate change, including increasing extremes of weather, rising sea level and rising sea temperatures.
