This is the FIRST time in 2025 that photo evidence has been LEAKED of Assomption Island. (7/8)

This is the FIRST time in 2025 that photo evidence has been LEAKED of Assomption Island. 🚩 We say ‘leaked’ because taking photos and videos has been strictly prohibited since construction began - a red flag in today’s world of instant livestreams. What was there to hide? Well, now we know. The images reveal dredging - one of the most disruptive activities for marine ecosystems. Even small-scale seabed or shoreline alterations in the Seychelles can cause lasting damage, wiping out sea turtle nesting sites, destroying vital seagrass foraging grounds, smothering coral reefs that host an abundance of life and accelerating coastal erosion. Not to mention, ILLEGAL! The leak has already sparked #panic in government circles, with officials making an emergency trip to Assomption. Let’s see what comes of it? Share this post with your friends to spread the word. Elections are coming up and NOW is the time to be asking questions. Email your representatives and make some noise. 📢
