SAINT BRANDON – CARGADOS CARAJOS SHOALS

Saint Brandon, also known as the Cargados Carajos Shoals, is an Indian Ocean archipelago, situated on the Mascarene Plateau, about 430 kms North Northeast of Mauritius, composed of sandbanks, shoals, and islets. The ecosystem of the  Company’s 13 island fishing bases is a place where you can still connect and merge with nature.  Through the Saint Brandon Conservation Trust, Raphaël Fishing’s team work with the Mauritius Wildlife Foundation,  the Odysseo Foundation, the ZSL Institute of Zoology ( Zoological Society of London), National Geographic Explorer and other national and international NGOs, scientists and conservationists to protect species and to help to preserve the complex ecosystems of all the atoll’s islands, for future generations. Raphael Fishing is Compliant with the Native Terrestrial Biodiversity and National Parks Act 2015 which is the primary legislation in Mauritius for the conservation and management of terrestrial biodiversity and national parks.
Our conservation efforts are economically sustained by responsible catch-and-release and line fishing for those who visit the islands. Our focus is to preserve the ecological integrity of the islands by encouraging fishermen to leave us with treasured memories and a commitment to preserving the natural resources that first attracted them to Saint Brandon.
