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.
