Ebiil Society, Inc.

Ebiil Society is a nonprofit located in Palau, an island in Oceania, that aims to restore marine habitats, support women in fisheries, and run youth and teacher programs based on traditional knowledge. The organization began in 2005, when a group of local anglers and elders came together to help protect the local environment, inspired by reports of abandoned gear tangling within the mangroves and impacting seagrass beds. Today, the team works to recover derelict fishing gear, revive local ecosystems, and reconnect the community with traditional stewardship practices.
