Get to know the lagoon with Ekol’O
Learn, explore and help protect the marine life of northern Mauritius, on land at the Marine Discovery Centre
and out at sea aboard Ekol'O, the island's first floating education centre.
OUR MISSION
Since 2010, the Marine Discovery Centre at Lagoon Attitude has been a hub for marine research, conservation and education in Anse La Raie. Our team of marine biologists and certified eco-guides studies the lagoon every day and shares what they learn with anyone curious enough to ask.
Ekol'O takes that mission out to sea. This converted catamaran is a floating classroom where you learn alongside our team, and sometimes help collect real scientific data.
