The Semporna Islands Darwin Project (SIDP) is an initiative involving local communities in coral reef conservation in the recently gazetted Tun Sakaran Marine Park, Sabah, Malaysia.
The project is managed by the Marine Conservation Society in collaboration with Sabah Parks, and the aim is to protect the outstanding features and biodiversity of the site while promoting sustainable use of natural resources, economic development and traditional culture.
Other organisations involved in the programme include the Fisheries Department Sabah, Universiti Malaysia Sabah and WWF-Malaysia. The project has been grant-aided by the Darwin Initiative, through funding from the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and with additional support from the North of England Zoological Society, International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN), Lighthouse Foundation, National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, Wild Asia and Reef Conservation-UK.
