Having completed his MSc at Prince of Songkla University, Hat Yai, Non joined our team in 2024 to continue his marine science exploits. Despite his growing love of marine invertebrates, there will always be something fishy about him.

Nancy is the founder of Love Wildlife Foundation through which she has led and participated in numerous international wildlife conservation and rehabilitation initiatives over the years, and a decade of educational endeavors. She represents 50% of the nerd duo that schemed to create ATMEC.

Cory joined the team in 2024 and is our go-to person for grant management and feasibility assessments for funding applications. She not only keeps track of our outputs, she also helps pave the way for what's next!

After years contributing to the curation and organisation of the Gulf of Thailand sea turtle identification project, Amir is now responsible for management of our sea turtle citizen science projects with ATMEC.

Dr. Monchanin played an integral role, representing 50% of the instructor duo that restructred much of the academic and project-specific components of ATMEC at the end of it's first phase. She also led the ambitious plastics project that defined 2022-23, the first of its kind for the region.

Matthias represented the other 50% of the dynamic duo that completely revamped the program, pursuing not only a wide array of academic efforts, but also making pre-furbished Koh Mun Nai, an easier and more organised place for all island inhabitants.  

Alyssa was one of the pioneering instructors at ATMEC, joining for the first full semester before continuing on to pursue her MSc in Marine Science back in Canada. Her diving and science experience now extends to warm and cold habitats!

Claudia was with us for our very first full year, and was part of the initial survey team before ATMEC was formalised. She was a full-time instructor with us for throughout 2021 before heading back home to Italy.

Tommy first joined us as an intern, then Instructor Trainee and completed his ATMEC journey as an Instructor and marine biologist in 2022. His nerdy vibes will continue from ATMEC straight to university in Australia.
