Community Engagement

Community Management

We believe lasting change begins at the local level. That’s why we work hand-in-hand with the communities around Gili Air—sharing knowledge, building trust, and encouraging sustainable practices that protect marine ecosystems for the long term. Through education, outreach, and collaboration, we aim to empower the next generation of ocean stewards.

At the heart of our mission is marine conservation. From coral restoration to marine debris clean-ups, we’re committed to preserving Indonesia’s rich underwater biodiversity—not just for today, but for the future.

Local School Program

Weekly Classes for 5th Graders

Every week, we deliver interactive environmental education sessions to 5th-grade students on Gili Air. These classes cover marine life, pollution awareness, and civic responsibility, helping young learners understand the importance of protecting their island’s natural heritage. Our goal is to inspire curiosity, responsibility, and pride in the next generation of ocean guardians.

University Collaboration

Internships with the University of Mataram

Each year, we welcome two groups of marine biology students from the University of Mataram for immersive 12-week internships. With four students per cycle, this program offers hands-on experience in coral restoration, ecological monitoring, and community-based conservation. We provide full support—including accommodation, meals, and transport—so students can focus on learning, contributing, and growing as future marine scientists.
