Our Mission
How we protect and restore the reefs around the Gili Islands
To support NGO Gili Matra Bersama in protecting and restoring the coral reef environment within the Gili Matra Marine Recreational Reserve and to help them to create the first recognized shark nursery ground in Indonesia by 2025.
To be an international marine research center that host researchers, scientists and oceans lovers from all over the world. A place in the heart of our community where we provide education in solving oceans-related issues. A home to people that want to make the world a little bit more beautiful.
Our passion
To give people who are curious about marine conservation a unique experience! This is what we love to do! We believe that a strong community of different individuals can make a bigger impact on marine protection than a single organization. Therefore, our team works side by side with the local research team, NGO Gili Matra Bersama.
Gili Matra Bersama is an organization that educates, trains, and empowers local talent to become guardians of the natural environment and leaders of the Gili islands’ growing tourism industry. Furthermore, they provide scholarships to Indonesian women who want to pursue a career in marine conservation but don’t have the financial or emotional support to make it happen. Every day, we join the team to collect abundance data around the Gili islands and assess the health of our environment.
Gili Shark Conservation’s mission is to support NGO Gili Matra Bersama in protecting and restoring the coral reef environment within the Gili Matra Marine Recreational Reserve and help create the first recognized shark nursery in Indonesia by 2025.
