What Your Day Looks Like



Lecture & Workshop


Start your Sea Turtle Ecology and Monitoring course with an in-depth lecture from your Conservation Instructor and Marine Biologist, Aris. Learn about turtle evolution, migration, and ecological importance. You’ll learn how to identify species based on key features, understand their threats, and explore how data from photo ID helps track individual turtles over time.

Before diving, you’ll learn to use ID photography techniques, estimate turtle sizes, and document behavioral observations. We’ll practice with real datasets and explore how your data contributes to long-term turtle monitoring in the region.

Duration: 1-2 Hours


Dive


Time to dive and find those turtles! 

The Gili Islands are a hotspot for turtles, and many know them as the "Turtle Capital of the World." You won't have trouble finding them. However, you might also see threats to these turtles, such as human impacts like fishing lines and irresponsible diving.

As you observe green and hawksbill turtles in their natural environment, you’ll practice ID photography, behavioral tracking, and log data for our ongoing turtle ecology project.
