The work in the Seychelles is a partnership between Mitsubishi Corporation, Earthwatch, the University of Essex, the Seychelles National Park Authority and the University of Western Australia. To support the project, five Mitsubishi Corporation employees are trained in its research methodologies every year and contribute through hands-on data collection and participation.

Mitsubishi Corporation also supports Earthwatch's commitment to enhance the skills and expertise of early career researchers, environment and conservation professionals from the Indian Ocean region, by funding nine talented individuals each year to benefit from a tailored research experience and development programme.
