Moyenne Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moyenne Island is a small island (.089 km²) in the Ste Anne Marine National Park off the north coast of Mahé. Since the 1970s it has been a flora and fauna reserve. From 1915 until the 1970s the island was abandoned until its purchase by Brendon Grimshaw, an English newspaper editor. Presently he is the only permanent inhabitant on Moyenne and is responsible for returning the island to its former natural state.
Moyenne is one of several islands in the Ste. Anne Marine National Park; the others are:
- Ste. Anne Island: 2.19 km² and has a large luxury resort
- Cerf Island: 1.27 km² and has a small population
- Round Island: 0.018 km² and a former leper colony
- Long Island : 0.212 km² and a former prison
- Beacon Island: 5 acres and a nesting site for seabirds
