David Roe
Environment Campaign Training and Environment Education in Australia
Previously I was founder and course author at Silent Reef, training new and experienced campaigners to run effective environment campaigns on land and at sea.
Before that I worked for environment NGOs, including Project AWARE, Sea Turtle Foundation and National Parks Association NSW.
I have campaigned for new marine parks, lobbied to protect threatened sharks, managed community conservation projects and citizen science programs, and worked with remote Papua New Guinea communities to reduce non-traditional sea turtle and dugong hunting.
I am an experienced trainer and author of several popular environment education programs, including Aware Shark Conservation (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) and Dive Against Debris (Project AWARE). Both courses are taught by PADI dive instructors worldwide.
