The Gili Shark Conservation Project is an award-winning conservation and data collection program and the first of its kind in the Gili Islands in Indonesia.
We’re situated on the beautiful island Gili Air but we work around all of the Gili islands: Gili Air, Gili Meno, and Gili Trawangan. The goal of our shark research project is not just to raise awareness for shark- and marine conservation but also to assist the local community and help the Gilis to become a plastic-free paradise!
