Eco-responsible and sustainable initiatives in Tamarin: what can you do to contribute to the collective cause?

Mauritius’ natural beauty may seem untouched. However, the island’s insular character also makes it vulnerable. Global warming, pollution. Many factors can interfere and impact on resources and landscapes. Awareness is fortunately gaining ground as a number of initiatives are being launched. Recycle, waste sorting, solidarity actions. You can also do your bit to preserve Mauritius.MJ Holidays’ commitmentTourism, while essential to the local economy, can also have a significant impact on the environment. In recent years, Mauritius’ hospitality industry has focused on the issue of how hotels operate and a number of green practices have been introduced for guests. MJ Holidays has therefore committed itself to eco-responsible and sustainable development.A collaboration made in MauritiusBy partnering with Signe Natir, a community project led by Business Mauritius to improve the environmental sustainability of our island, MJ encourages its guests to become partners in this community project. Our goal is to work in harmony with nature and the surrounding community for a sustainable and prosperous future in Mauritius and to help create a greener environment for present and future generations. Upon moving into your private villa at Marguery Villas or one of our Mythic suites and villas, should you wish to join in and work towards the preservation of this unique environment, do not hesitate to contact us. Through simple and ecological practices, everyone can help create a global and responsible awareness: limit water consumption when showering, turn off unnecessary lights, reduce the need to change towels and linens too often, and buy local products.Tamarin: a shared eco awarenessThe natural and rugged landscape of the West coast of Mauritius together with its rich cultural and social diversity are undoubtedly contributing to the ecological and responsible actions undertaken by the island’s inhabitants. Local, commercial or charitable, the initiatives are numerous and gain the commitment of Mauritians as well as foreign residents and visitors. Do you feel like getting more involved in sustainable and responsible development? Here is an overview of some of the great solidarity projects to which you can contribute.The Charity Shop: when buying second hand contributes to social projectsFive minutes away from Marguery Villas, this non-profit charity organisation devoted itself to fighting against the overpopulation of stray dogs and cats in Mauritius in 2013. The charity has since developed a wider range of services. People donate goods (clothes, toys, decorative items, books etc.) still in good condition and resell them at a very affordable price. The Charity Centre team, which is mainly composed of volunteers, is in charge of sorting and pricing the items for sale.The money collected is donated to various NGOs that help:– Underprivileged children and adults by giving them the opportunity to receive an education and participate in activities to help them avoid the evils and dangers on the streets.– To reduce the number of stray dogs by organising sterilisation campaigns, providing treatment and donating food for the island’s dogs and cats.– The disabled by providing them with special equipment.– The environment by keeping Mauritius clean (for example, a monthly partnership with BEM Recycling resulted in the collection of 450 kg of electronic and electrical waste in September).To come and drop off or buy clothes or a book is to get involved in the local community by choosing which cause you want to help! The Charity Shop is open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.https://www.facebook.com/Charitycentretamarin/The recycling binsYou will come across them in various places in the villages of Tamarin and Black River: the recycling bins are used to collect plastic bottles (mainly sodas) in PET for recycling. Empty bottles are a major ecological problem and their biodegradability in nature is extremely long. You will find one just behind Marguery on the road leading to the supermarket. Don’t hesitate to use it!The eco-friendly commitment of Super UCongratulations on the ethical and ecological commitment of the large supermarket at the entrance to the village of Tamarin. Super U has long been committed to reducing its environmental impact, and one of the most important aspects of this engagement is waste management and waste reduction. The many social and environmental initiatives taken by the group in recent years are all aimed at facilitating the transition of its business model to a more integrated, responsible and sustainable system. The idea is to encourage the emergence of a sustainable economy through various initiatives, environmental investments and work with various companies and NGOs involved in the sector.Acclaimed initiatives: recycling workshops and exhibitions, cleaning up the beach of the bay, donating ecological bins to the District Council, providing sorting containers (plastics, cans and cardboard) in the car park, compacting and composting packaging cardboard, recycling packaging plastics, using personal containers in the fresh produce section.the book drop box: get along, there is plenty of reading!The book box in Tamarin, created by a passionate reader, is just behind Marguery Villas, at the entrance to the London supermarket. Open to all and free of charge, it is a place to celebrate sharing, whether it be books, magazines or textbooks. Pick up or drop off one or more, and someone else will come along and pick them out. Rather than taking a big novel back home with you, pass it on to a reader and join the virtuous circle of sharing. There are books in French, English, Russian, German and Norwegian and the box is rarely empty.Other initiatives at a glance:– The Bioil frying oil recycler at the entrance to the London supermarket– The recycling bins (paper, cardboard, plastic) of the We-Recycle at Paul et Virginie school which can also collect from you (https://www.wecycle.mu/)– Your old mobile phone will be recycled at the Emtel stand at Super U– Buy organic and local with Meeta’s delicious certified organic vegetables (LINK)Being more than an enthusiastic spectator of the beautiful landscape while being a proud actor of change is possible during your stay at Marguery Villas. Whether you’re on holiday for a few days or a long-term resident, you can take action to help preserve resources and leave a positive footprint on our island.

Big game fishing: the 100% adrenaline activity in 5 points

If you are a thrill-seeker or a fan of fishing, this is the perfect choice for you! Mauritius (and Black River particularly) is reputed to be one of the best destinations in the world to indulge in this sportive fishing activity which requires patience and perseverance in attempting to catch a fish. Beginners or professionals, set your fishing lines! Marguery Villaswhen can I go fishing?– When to go? The best time of the year for big game fishing in Mauritius is from October to April for the largest catches. Willing to catch a good-sized fish? No problem, with favourable weather conditions all year round and very fishy waters, big game fishing boats are out all year round: they will seek out the best spots for your adventure.–  Which kind of fish?Mauritius is known worldwide for the wealth of its marine life. Indeed, the waters beyond the coral reef are abounding with large fish sometimes reaching impressive sizes. The fight can be sporty and requires a great deal of patience according to the type of fish caught. Here are the species that you can come across: the blue marlin (more or less all year round), the black marlin (harder to find), the swordfish, the dorado, the snapper, the coryphene, the yellowfin tuna, the wahoo as well as various species of sharks (mako, hammerhead, blue, bulldog…)Good to know: the catch remains the property of the boat. If you wish to bring back your catch or stuff your trophy, it is possible to buy it back.What is a typical day like?– On which fishing boats?Mauritius big game fishing providers operate game boats, often equipped with outriggers, towers, reels, lures, harnesses, large bait traps and freezers and measuring between 9 and 15 metres in length. They are powered by large outboard, semi-outboard or inboard motors with speeds up to 30 knots. The boats are handled by skippers who are skilled in local weather conditions, familiar with currents and know how to spot schools by observing bird activity. These boats can accommodate 6 to 8 people.– How long does it last?  A half-day tour or a full day (9 hours) if you are an enthusiast. If you spend the whole day, you will be served lunch on board. A great opportunity to have a nice boat trip and maybe see dolphins. – What kind of fishing? The crew will give you all the necessary advice on the different fishing techniques: trolling, casting, long-lining, jigging or drop shot fishing (relatively light weights and small plastic lures).Fishing methods have evolved, especially in relation to the awareness of the need to preserve the environment: this is why ‘tag & release’ (catch & release) is now encouraged by some operators.An exciting and emotional experience, big game fishing is for those who love the sea. Our ethical recommendation: our partner FISH WHISPERER offers a recreational and educational experience for children.
