Clark Dunson - Director of Sensor Technology

Clark started his career at NASA in 1977 as a Payload Engineer working on mission designs for the Space Shuttle and Space Station programs. He wound his way through many launch pad operations and launches, and sought avenues to fight government waste at every turn. In 1985 he began teaching divers how to navigate the treacherous kelp beds of Northern California, and in 1991 he launched a career in scientific computer visualization building satellite simulators for commercial spacecraft such as Sirius, Globalstar, and Japan’s MT–SAT.

In 2003, Clark devoted himself to the pursuit of earthquake forecasting 1–4 weeks in advance of the big event, and published several papers on seismo-magnetic effects. He has developed embedded control software for systems deployed worldwide, and has led many product developments in analytical and political outreach for governmental and commercial entities.

In 2005 he was awarded the “Spot Beam Award” from the California Space Authority, and in 2013 the “Champions of Change” award from the White House. He lives in Northern California, and pursues the art of volleyball, rock climbing, and trying to impress his loved one Kathryn (and her cats Butters and Lil’P), with his culinary experiments in the kitchen.

Terence Lim - SFB Malaysia Executive Director

As the Executive Director, Terence was responsible for establishing SFB Malaysia Sdn Bhd in July 2019 to stop fish bombing in collaboration with SFB USA, Sabah Parks and other partners. Fish bombing is controlled through deployment of acoustic arrays that provide rapid law enforcement notification with precise blast location information. Terence has been a member of the Stop Fish Bombing International Board of Directors since its inception in 2015.

As one of Scubazoo’s (SZ) Operations Directors, Terence has managed multiple TV shoots including UK’s Survivor series in Pulau Tiga, US’ Survivor series in Thailand and Conquest of the Skies, 3D with Sir David Attenborough since its inception in 1997.

All his working life Terence has been heavily involved with Sabah’s marine tourism industry. Having been Deputy GM of SDC Lodges, Sipadan Dive Centre S/B, Bukit Melapi Proboscis Lodge and Pulau Tiga Resort, Operations Manager at Gayana Eco Resort and Bunga Raya and Spa Resort, Operations Officer on Sipadan Princess luxury yacht. Also a Level 3 Scuba Instructor with the National Dive League + he has been scuba diving around Sabah’s incredible coral reefs for more than 30 years. Terence is acutely aware of the prevalence of fish bombing in Sabah waters.

As Chairperson for the Semporna Resort Operator Association and a committee member for the Kinabatangan Tourist Association together with his unique experience Terence is perfectly placed to advise and co-ordinate the overall implementation of SFB in Sabah’s waters closely with the Government and all other key parties.

With the success of the deployment of the fish bomb detection sensor, he is now engaging more with the island and coastal communities to educate them on the impact of fish bombing, not only on the damage to the coral reefs and the marine ecosystem but more focus on the depleting source of marine protein and the impact of the destructive fish bombing toward the food security of the coastal and island communities.
