Marie Louise Island, Coral cay in Amirante Islands, Seychelles
Marie Louise Island extends 1.25 kilometers in length and 0.65 kilometers in width, covering a total area of 0.52 square kilometers.
The French navigator Chevalier du Roslan named this island in 1771 after his vessel Marie Louise, marking the beginning of documented European presence.
The inhabitants of Marie Louise Island maintain a traditional lifestyle centered on fishing activities and agricultural work, particularly in coconut palm cultivation.
Access to the island requires coordination with local authorities due to limited transportation options and the presence of an unpaved 550-meter airstrip.
The island supports nesting populations of brown noddies and white terns while serving as a base for harvesting sooty tern eggs on neighboring Desnoeufs Island.
