Marine Conservation in Raja Ampat

Located in the East Indonesia/West Papua region of the coral triangle, this spectacular volunteer project is perfectly situated within the coral triangle – home to the highest known concentration of marine life on earth.
Also known as the ‘Four Kings’, Raja Ampat’s 1500 small islands possess unfathomable mystery, with only 35 of those islands being inhabited. The waters here contain 80% of all the world’s coral species, and they are also home to 1350 species of fish, 6 of the world’s 7 sea turtle species, and 27 varieties of marine mammal.
By volunteering on this project, you will conduct research into the quality of Raja Ampat’s reefs, as well as data about the area’s waters and underwater habitats. You will help the local school children in learning basic English, a skill which could well go on to provide them with better futures for themselves and their communities. Above all else, you will have the opportunity to experience life in an island paradise, working hard to protect it.
