Masterclass at the National Climate Governance Summit 2025
In April, RCM had the honour of setting up a booth at the National Climate Governance Summit 2025 — a powerful platform to amplify awareness on marine conservation, with a spotlight on our marine ecosystems and the critical role we all play in protecting them.
Our CEO, Julian Hyde, also had the opportunity to lead a Masterclass on Conserving Marine Biodiversity: Navigating Treaties, Policies, Fundings and Communities. The session saw enthusiastic participants who asked thoughtful questions. Their genuine interest and engagement truly made the session impactful!

Malaysia International Diving Expo (MIDE) 2025
Kuala Lumpur, 13 – 15 June: RCM participated by setting up a booth at the Malaysia International Diving Expo held in MITEC, showcasing our marine conservation efforts. Alvin, our colleague from Tioman, was a speaker at two conservation panel discussions:
- From Recreation to Conservation: The Role of Divers in Coral Reef Protection

OCEANS 5 Workshop
The ‘Bengkel Pengurusan Sumber Semulajadi’ di Kepulauan Seri Buat, Rompin, Pahang was held in collaboration with Perbadanan Taman Negeri Pahang and WWF-Malaysia.
The workshop brought together various representatives from both the state and federal governments in Pahang to explore how participatory, integrated, and sustainable management of our islands can be achieved. From managing marine resources to identifying land-sea challenges and solutions, the conversations were rich and insightful – thanks to the active participants who thoughtfully brought up key issues and potential ways forward.
Moving forward, we hope to see more states joining in and continuing this important dialogue on sustainable marine and island management.
The project is supported by Oceans 5 and its Bloomberg Ocean Fund and its Joint 30×30 Funding Initiative, sponsored projects of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors.
