READ ABOUT OUR GROUNDBREAKING GREAT WHITE DISCOVERY NOW…

in 2023 we saved more than 600 sharks by repurposing shark fishing vessels…

Project Hiu operates under the idea that conservation should be approached with compassion and that both the sharks & the men that fish them are falling victim to an international trade for shark fins. Working with & not against the shark fishing community, we began a revolution that will not only redefine shark fishermen and re-write their stories but create a future where they have a choice.

Project Hiu is a rapidly growing fleet of hand built shark fishing vessels in Lombok, Indonesia, with crew leaving life as fishermen behind and moving into tourism. We have placed ten shark tags on the first ever tagged tiger sharks in Indonesia, built a water tank to provide clean water for the school of the fishing community & and sent two shark fishermen to university for opportunities outside fishing… all through the help of our crew.
