In this exclusive Zoom interview, Jeff Goodman, Scubaverse Editor-at-Large, chats to Daniel Fernando, Co-Founder at Blue Resources Trust, about conservation funding from corporate sources and other marine conservation issues.

Daniel is a Sri Lankan marine biologist and the co-founder of Blue Resources Trust, a marine research and conservation organisation, where he leads the Sri Lanka Elasmobranch Project. Since 2013 he has been providing technical support for elasmobranch management policy at conventions such as CITES and CMS, thereby helping bridge the gap between science and policy and encouraging a shift toward sustainable fisheries. He has served as a ministerial advisor, is currently the Regional Co-Vice Chair of the IUCN SSC Shark Specialist Group for the Indian Ocean, an MCAF Fellow, and the Vice-Chair to the Sessional Committee of the CMS Scientific Council.
