The MV Wakashio ran aground less than 2 km away from Ile aux Aigrettes (IAA), an island nature reserve par excellence managed by the Mauritian Wildlife Foundation (BirdLife Partner & IUCN member). 800 tons of oil spilled out in the lagoon, heavily impacting on the marine and land ecosystems. IAA is home to sub-populations of rare endemic plants and animals. MWF plant and animal biologists, apart from having to carry out the normal routine work now have to investigate the impact of the oil spill.
