Perseverance Island (Ile Perseverance) is a new Island to the Seychelleswhich is 2 km away from the capital Victoria.
In the years 2000-2002, the first thought was given to creating a new island directly adjacent to Mahé.
It should be an island that gives many a chance to own their own home, to establish a community of young Seychellois.
About 76,000 people out of about 100,000 of the total population live on Mahé.
Reason enough to think ahead for the future in order to win new land.
The previously small embankments, which were designed to prevent a possible coming tsunami, should be used to create something big.
The idea Perseverance was born. But it was to take more than a decade before reality began. In 2013, the first works with further fillings on the island have started.
