We believe lasting change begins at the local level. We focus on practical conservation and education through coral restoration, reef monitoring, and outreach. Our efforts include working with the local school on Gili Air, collaborating with Lombok Mataram University, and offering courses to tourists interested in marine ecology.
Every week, we deliver interactive 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.
Each year, Indo Coral Conservation welcomes two groups of third‑year marine science students from the University of Mataram for a fully funded 12‑week field internship. Four students are selected for each cycle and join our team to learn the practical foundations of coral restoration, ecological monitoring, and community‑based conservation.
The scholarship covers accommodation, meals, and transport, allowing students to focus on building skills, gaining field experience, and understanding the day‑to‑day realities of working in marine conservation.
The aim of this scholarship is to provide accessible, hands‑on training that supports students in strengthening their practical knowledge as they progress in their studies.
