You may remember our team’s turtle rescue back in September, documented in our blog post “Josie saves another Gili turtle“.

The monsoonal winds are starting to shift here at Gili Lankanfushi, with blustery days giving over to calm glass-like seas.

Recently we have been teaming up with the folks over at the Olive Ridley Project to conduct several experiments in order to assist with Martin Stelfox (Founder and CEO)’s PhD thesis.

Drupella cornus are a coraliverous species of snail known to prey upon fast growing branching coral species.

The Manta action is really heating up here at Gili Lankanfushi, as we are treated to some of the best Manta sightings at our local Manta Point in 15 years!

It’s always exciting to see a turtle out on a snorkel trip, but last Thursday’s snorkeling group got a little more than they bargained for when our ever vigilant boat crew spotted a sick hawksbill turtle as they were setting up the boat.

Last week we warmly welcomed back Martin Stelfox to Gili Lankanfushi. Martin is the founder of the Olive Ridley Project and this was Martin’s third visit to Gili.

My third week was just as action packed as the last two, with plenty of in-water activities to keep us busy!

Hi there! So after my action packed first week that included learning about  El Nino’s effects, relocating slow growing coral, removing crown of thorns star fish and the arrival of the manta rays
