The Parks Program is focussed in the Western Pacific and Caribbean. Kalli brings to this post a wealth of practical, hands on experience from setting up mooring buoys to teaching school children and running research programs. For the past decade Kalli De Meyer has been based in the Dutch Antilles where she set up and ran the Marine Park on Bonaire. The Bonaire Marine Park has become a model of its kind in the Caribbean and stands as a shining example of how an island's marine assetts can be protected and conserved whilst maximizing returns from both recreation and commerce. She set up and ran Seastar Watersports, a dive operation based in Aqaba on the Red Sea, for nearly two years and worked for a year in Bonaire's dive industry as Chief Instructor at Dive Bonaire.
