What is the D\u2019Arros Experience<\/strong>
\nThe D\u2019Arros Experience, initiated by the SOSF and its D\u2019Arros Research Centre (SOSF-DRC), aims to engage young Seychellois on the importance of the ecosystems that form part of their national heritage while providing practical, hands-on field experience in a globally important ecological hotspot. The D\u2019Arros Experience is an important component of SOSF\u2019s worldwide mission to promote environmental education and outreach. The idea is to provide students with a clear understanding of how ecosystems, from the coast to the deeper ocean, function and are connected.<\/p>\n
