About QECI 

Qeshm Environmental Conservation Institute (QECI) is a non-governmental and non-of-profit organization that conducts research to provide critical baselines for developing conservation plans and/or scientific solutions for conservation issues; aiming to protect the marine biodiversity of the Persian Gulf. The institute also carries out education and awareness programs and takes conservation actions through co-operation with local communities, other NGOs, academia and governmental agencies.

QECI first started its work in 2014 as a local marine conservation initiative for Qeshm Island. The conservancy then officially registered on September 2018 as a tax-exempted institute under regulations of the Qeshm Trade-Industrial Free Area Organization. For about five years, between 2018 and 2023, the QECI’s Office was located at the Qeshm International Incubator Center (QIIC), a member of International Association of Science Parks and Areas of Innovation (IASP). The office is now located at the Persian Gulf Biotechnology Park (PGBP), another IASP member, committed to supporting startups and novel ideas in Qeshm Island in the mid of the Persian Gulf.
