EWC Innovation Fellow and team member of the Thresher Shark Project Indonesia, Rafid Shidqi, is working on an initiative to help save Indonesian thersher sharks. 

For many remote coastal communities, shark fishing is a crucial source of livelihood. Alor Island is located within the East Nusa Tenggara Province in the southern part of the Coral Triangle – this area is amongst the most biodiverse marine environments on our planet, home to more than 30% of all coral and fish species, including many iconic shark and ray species. Alor is also home to a targeted Thresher shark fishery.
