Île Verronge

Île Verronge is one of circa thirty isles, island and sandbars that is part of the St. Brandon archipelago in the Indian Ocean. It is constitutionally designated, under Mauritian law, as one of the outer islands of Mauritius.

St. Brandon recommended as Marine Protected Area (MPA) by World Bank (1998), accepted by Ministry in 'Blueprint' (2002), approved by the government of Mauritius (2004)

In the 1840s, the primary fishing station of St. Brandon was established on Île Verronge which today is an uninhabited bird and turtle sanctuary.^[1][2] Access to the public is restricted, and permission is required to onboard the island from the local fishing company with established fishing stations on the islands.

Île Verronge was one of the islands chosen by the World Bank to be part of the marine protected area of St Brandon.^[3]
