Marine wildlife rarely remain in one habitat. Most species rely on a healthy network of ecosystems to raise their young and catch their food.

Mauritians have been volunteering to help clear an oil spill from the MV Wakashio but have been told not to. It's difficult when the threat of oil and inaction is what many have seen.
