Accommodation is part of a wider community living environment where the traveler shares social areas overlooking the beach with staff and fellow participants. To minimize the carbon footprint, the facility utilizes natural cooling and does not offer hot water, creating a strong sense of community while still having private personal space to rest and recharge.
The on-site kitchen team prepares three meals daily. Travelers follow a fixed weekly menu of Indonesian and international dishes. Full details are in your program guide once your spot is confirmed!
Arrive at Lombok International Airport (LOP) and make your way to the designated meeting point in South-West Lombok to connect with the scheduled group transfer. Your journey begins with a scenic boat transfer to our remote research base (tides permitting—if the tides are too low to use the boat, travelers will arrive by scooters instead), and we recommend arriving at the airport before midday to catch it. Full details are in your program guide once your spot is confirmed!
The group will be hosted by a dedicated non-profit Marine Research and Conservation Field School. Operating within the Gita Nada Marine Protected Area, this team of passionate scientists and conservationists works tirelessly to restore degraded reefs and protect endangered species like Dugongs and Hawksbill turtles. The host focuses on "science-led action," providing the group with high-level training in reef check methodologies and biodiversity surveys, ensuring every dive contributes to real-world data and long-term ecological impact.
Nestled in the "Secret Gilis" of South-West Lombok, the destination is a world away from the crowds of Bali. This region is a biodiversity hotspot within the Wallacea zone, characterized by pristine turquoise waters and untouched coral reefs. The traveler will find themselves in a tranquil, off-the-beaten-path setting where the rhythm of life is dictated by the tides. It’s a place of raw natural beauty, offering a rare glimpse into a marine ecosystem that remains largely undiscovered by mass tourism.
By participating, the traveler directly supports the restoration of the Coral Triangle’s vital ecosystems. The group’s work involves transplanting "corals of opportunity," maintaining nurseries, and conducting BRUV surveys to monitor shark and ray populations. This effort not only rehabilitates the reef but also empowers local communities through education and sustainable management, ensuring the Gita Nada Marine Park remains a thriving sanctuary for future generations.
Through intensive field-based training and marine science workshops, the traveler gains professional-level knowledge, bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world environmental application.
By focusing on mangrove restoration and maintaining a low-carbon facility, the project helps sequester carbon and build ecosystem resilience against the increasing impacts of global climate change.
The group actively restores coral reefs and seagrass meadows, directly combating habitat loss and protecting endangered marine species through scientific monitoring and hands-on conservation.
