This fragile jewel continues to shine in the midst of glistening waves but desperately needs attention. The interest and enthusiasm of all the young visitors from Universities and schools (Fig. 34) brings hope for its preservation.

The Mahébourg Bay has the potential to  become an animated  historic landscape where past and present merge into a virtual reality.    ( Fig. 35).
