BHC uses Commonwealth Games relay to highlight threat of marine pollution

The Cap Ternay Marine Park was the latest stop on the round-the-world journey of the King’s Baton Relay, where the British High Commission highlighted the threat of plastic pollution to Seychelles’ unique marine environment.

Travelling to each of the 74 Commonwealth nations and territories ahead of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland in July 2026, the King’s Baton Relay is in Seychelles until October 24. The theme for the relay is centred around cultural celebration and marine conservation, and staff from the British High Commission teamed up with the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authorities (SPGA), to take the baton to the stunning Cap Ternay Marine Park, to highlight the beauty of Seychelles’ environment and the harm posed by marine plastic pollution.
