How do you end generations of shark fishing that makes families just enough to feed themselves? You don’t, you replace it. ‘Project Hiu’, Hiu being the Indonesian word for Shark, is an initiative to provide an alternative incomes to fishermen in one of the largest shark fisheries in Indonesia.

The aim of Project Hiu is not to convert or condemn, rather slowly introduce opportunity to a community that has only ever known shark fishing. By hiring shark fishing boats to engage in tourism activities, we offer an alternative income that simultaneously and effectively protects sharks.
