SHARK MONTH 2026!

Throughout Shark Month, we collected sightings of elasmobranchs while continuing our long-term monitoring through photo identification, BRUV surveys, laser measurement, and roving surveys.

But Shark Month was about more than what we saw underwater.

We worked alongside local dive centres through Unite Gili, contributed sightings to citizen science, deployed BRUVs to observe elasmobranchs in their natural habitat, and stepped beyond the dive sites to learn more about fisheries and bycatch in Tanjung Luar shark market.

Each activity gave us a different piece of the picture, and together, these pieces help us better understand the elasmobranch populations around the Gilis and the challenges they face.

A big thank you to everyone who joined the dives, shared sightings, supported the research, joined our masterclasses, and contributed their time and knowledge throughout Shark Month. Your contribution matters, and we couldn’t do this without you.

Shark Month may be over, but the work continues.

See you underwater for the next one!

Conservation is about more than just seeing marine life beneath the surface! 🌊

As a Research Assistant at Gili Shark Conservation, you’ll get hands-on experience in the field from collecting data and conducting surveys to understanding how that data can support real conservation efforts.

From shark & turtle photo ID, BRUV (Baited Remote Underwater Video), Reef Check, coral health and coral bleaching surveys, laser measurements, to coral restoration.
Every dive has a purpose and a story behind it.

Here, you won’t just learn about the ocean.
You’ll become part of the process of understanding it, protecting it, and contributing to its future.
Because every piece of data we collect today can help us make better decisions for the ocean tomorrow!

Every animal has a place in this world from the smallest creatures on the reef to the ones we rarely get to see.

They don’t need us to save them from everything.
Sometimes, they just need us to give them space, protect their home, and let them live.

Because a healthier ocean means a safer home for them too!

This World Animal Day, let’s remember that sharing this planet also means taking care of the lives we share it with!

Meet our newest Conservation Divemaster graduates! 🤿

Over the past few weeks, Alina, Cooper, Maria, Pauline, Gauri and Umia have worked hard to develop their diving skills and learn how diving can support marine conservation.

Being a Conservation Divemaster is about more than leading dives.

Throughout their training, they gained real experience in marine conservation projects alongside our team. They learned what it takes to work as a professional diver and became more confident in the water.

We’re especially grateful to SUITSUIT Foundation for supporting Umia throughout her Conservation Divemaster journey. This support brought her one step closer to her dream of becoming a professional diver and running her own marine conservation work in Maluku. Thank you, SUITSUIT Foundation, for believing in people like Umia.

We’re so proud of this crew and everything they’ve achieved. Congratulations, team! 🎓🤿
