Aqualogy is involved in a number of marine conservation, research and local community projects.
Here on Ko Lanta, we are extremely fortunate to be able to observe and take part in some of the most beautiful and rare aquatic events on the planet. We are also in a unique position to be able to actively put something back into this fragile environment. This is an opportunity we cannot afford to miss! If you feel the same way and you would like to help or contribute to a project, please see individual project pages.

Join the Worldwide Whale Shark Photo ID project. Photo-identification is a powerful non invasive field technique for studying live sharks in their natural environment. It aids researchers to understand life histories and shark movements, especially important for a vulnerable and highly migratory species like the Whale Shark.

We regularly organise beach and reef clean up days. After a big storm in the monsoon season, it’s possible to collect literally tonnes of rubbish!

The House Reef in Kantiang Bay provides opportunities for a mapping project and Macro ID project. We have already discovered many rare and unusual species of nudibranch on the reef and are excited by future exploration.

To enhance our commitment to ReefCheck we are building a permanent Transact Line to enable ReefCheck dives to be conducted more easily and to provide more consistent data for their worldwide reef surveying project.

Our Daily Data Collection project involves collecting daily information about water temperature, current information and fish data collection. We hope to learn and observe seasonal patterns in different species, local to our area.

We are embarking on an Artificial Reef Project to assess if cultivating an artificial reef off Ko Lanta is a viable possibility.

Our Lanta Community Project is an ongoing commitment to give something back to the community we are part of. Fishing is a huge part of many family’s lives and we work together to conserve the reefs and valuable fish stocks in the area.

Our scientists are both marine biologists, and professional PADI Instructors. They have been working in and around the Andaman Sea for many years and know the local marine life extremely well.

If you’re not a diver yet, but you’re interested in marine biology and want to participate in one of our programs, - no problem! Arrive a few days early and you can be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver in just 3-4 days.
If you want to participate in the ReefCheck Eco-Program and contribute to their global survey of Reef Health, we also offer Discover ReefCheck and ReefCheck Eco-Diver courses, for an introduction to, and certification in, reef monitoring and surveying techniques.
