About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Rocking the Gili T reefs

ABOUT ME

Started a project called SeaMade to combat the harmful effects of marine debris on the small island of Gili T. We upcycle rubbish we find on the beach and create awareness of the rubbish problems encountered on the island and hold weekly beach clean ups.
Working full time for the Gili Eco Trust on Gili Trawangan, Indonesia. Upcycling glass in different projects, on the dump collecting recyclable materials, restoring the reefs with Biorock technology, teaching people about coral ecology, teaching kids in the local schools about the environment and plenty more! Even though I can't host any more we are always looking for volunteers to help with these projects!
Email info@giliecotrust.com if you want to make a difference in paradise!

PHILOSOPHY

Make a difference (even if it is just a little one)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Turtle diving and conservation programme on Perhentian islands, Malaysia, night patrols recording turtle nesting and laying habits. Sleeping in hammocks on the beach and releasing baby turtles to the sea in 2007

Teach, Learn, Share

I love the ocean and love sharing all I know and learning more all the time. I have started programmes of Eco Diving at my dive shop so we can all give something back to the ocean :) Come along for a chat about our reef restoration projects, or conservation and volunteering in SeaMade's Debris Free Friday beach clean ups
