Julian Hyde
Julian is CEO of Reef Check Malaysia (RCM), an NGO he helped establish in 2006. Its programs have since expanded to include a national annual coral reef survey program covering over 200 sites around Malaysia, community-based marine conservation projects and reef rehabilitation programs and education programs for schools. During his time at RCM, the annual survey program has grown to cover over 200 sites, and established close relationships with relevant government agencies involved in reef management. In particular, it is helping marine park management agencies change their approach to managing marine protected areas (MPA), with more emphasis on community engagement and participation. Julian currently works with Pacific Environment as a marine consultant to implement its 30×30 goals in Malaysia.
