From diving while seven months pregnant, to pioneering sustainable aquaculture projects that support coastal communities, Prof Aileen Tan has dedicated her life to the ocean.
That dedication has now earned her global recognition, as she’s the first Malaysian to win the Anton Bruun Medal, one of marine science’s highest honours.
Dr Tan, a professor in the School of Biological Sciences at Universiti Sains Malaysia and director of the Centre for Marine and Coastal Studies (Cemacs) at USM, joins BFM to reflect on her journey, her research and her hopes for the future of our seas.
