About Us

Griffiths Island is a sanctuary for plants, birds and animals with a large breeding colony of short-tailed shearwaters.
Friends of Griffith Island (FOGI) focuses on protecting the ecology of Griffiths Island and supporting it as a major tourist attraction.
The Friends of Griffiths Island aims to protect and enhance the natural and cultural environment of Griffiths Island and its environs.
  • protect indigenous flora, fauna and migratory bird species.
  • protect its geological features.
  • revegetate it with native flora 
  • control introduced wildlife predators.
  • enhance visitor experience with minimal impact on its ecology.
  • utilise Griffiths it as a place of community education.

Switch off for Shearwaters :

Every year, Short-tailed Shearwaters embark on an extraordinary migration, travelling over 15,000 km to return to their nesting grounds on Griffiths Island in September. In April the adults migrate to the Aleutian Islands leaving their chicks behind to learn to fly, learn to fish and find their own way to the Aleutian Islands.

During April, help us by:

  • Switching off external house lighting,

  • Shielding bright external lights.

  • Keeping an eye out for the young Shearwaters landing in unusual places, in and around town.

Sign up now and a group leader will be in touch to tell you about upcoming group meetings and events.
