FEBY - LAUTAN CALLING
"FEBY - Lautan Calling: The Story of a Young Marine Conservationist" tells the inspiring journey of one of Thresher Shark Indonesia's remarkable team members, Yuliana Febriyanti Maubuty, affectionately known as Feby.
This film follows Feby's incredible path, from growing up in a small fishing village in Alor, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, where she began fishing at just 12 years old, to becoming the first female fisher in her community. Despite the challenges, Feby pursued her passion for the ocean by enrolling in a Marine Science and Fisheries degree, at a local University, all while continuing to fish daily to support her family.
Her unyielding brilliance and talents, along with her dedication to making change in her community, led her to join the Thresher Shark Indonesia team, where she actively leads the development and implementation of a marine conservation curriculum to be applied in coastal schools of Alor. Eager to explore the underwater world, Feby learned to dive with the support of Thresher Shark Indonesia and Air Dive Alor, becoming one of the first female divers on the entire island. Her newfound love for corals inspired her to study and protect the vibrant reefs of Alor.
This story is an inspiring example of local talents like Feby, who have the potential to bring about positive change for marine conservation and her communities, so long as you allow them the opportunity to grow and shine.
