Our Shark Warriors

Class of 2026

Welcome to the heart of our mission at Gili Shark Conservation, a community of ocean lovers, marine science enthusiasts, and everyday heroes who’ve chosen to dive in and make a difference.

Each year, passionate individuals from all over the world come to the Gili Islands in Indonesia to join our conservation program and become what we proudly call Sharkies. These incredible humans don’t just help protect sharks, they become part of our conservation family, contributing to real ocean research, collecting valuable data, and spreading awareness about marine life protection.

Below, you’ll see the faces of the amazing people who’ve already joined our team. These Sharkies have swapped ordinary days for underwater adventures, sunrises on the beach, and meaningful work for the planet.

To everyone who’s joined us so far, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your energy, passion, and love for the ocean fuel everything we do.
