Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority (SPGA), is responsible for the marine and terrestrial National Parks and Gardens of Seychelles. A number of these sites have been designated since 1979. The terrestrial parks include Morne Seychellois National Park, the Praslin National Park and the Veuve Special Reserve on La Digue Island. The Marine National parks includes Ste. Anne (one of the first marine protected areas in the Indian Ocean), Silhouette, Port Launay, Baie Ternay, Ile Cocos, and Curieuse Island. The Gardens include the Botanical Garden, the State House Garden and the Biodiversity Centre.
All of these protected areas offer a diversity of fauna and flora which is enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year, with each site having its particular interesting features.
