Gili Shark Conservation

At Gili Shark Conservation, our main goal is to work with local government and non-government organizations to provide critical data for effective marine management. We hope to make a part of the marine park the first official shark nursery in Indonesia, which would prohibit fisherman from fishing these waters and protect our local reef sharks. To achieve this, we are gathering scientific data to prove that this area is in fact a shark nursery and we hope we can achieve our goal by 2025.

Sitting right off the coast of Lombok are three small idyllic islands known as the Gilis. Our international research center is located on Gili Air, one of the three famous Gili Islands in Indonesia. With its pristine beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life, Gili Air is a haven for nature lovers and ocean enthusiasts.

Our headquarters is a hub of marine research, conservation, and education. From coral reefs to fascinating marine species and sharks, Gili Air offers a captivating backdrop for our efforts to protect and preserve the underwater world. Join us on this journey as we explore the wonders of the Gili Matra Marine Park and work together towards a sustainable future for our oceans.

We are always looking for enthusiastic people who want to live in paradise and make a difference during their holiday or gap year. Help the sharks and the community of Gili Air by giving your time and love. You don’t need to be a shark expert or a diver to join our project, however, a passion and commitment to marine conservation is important. We appreciate all the unique skills that you can bring to our project and welcome people from every corner of the world.
