Mr Lance Lloyd (Hon)

Biography

Lance Lloyd has over 30 years practical experience across South East Australia, and recently in the Pacific Islands, in freshwater, estuarine, coastal and inland environments in ecology and management requirements. His key expertise is in relating the ecology of aquatic systems to the needs of management.

Lance established his consulting practice, Lloyd Environmental Pty Ltd in 1998 to provide quality services to the water and environment industries. Lloyd Environmental uses science and strategic planning to provide practical solutions to clients' aquatic ecosystem management issues.

In addition to his consulting work, Lance currently chairs the Victorian DEPI's Translocation Evaluation Panel, and the Great Australian Bight RAG (Australian Fisheries Management Authority; AFMA), and is a member of three other AFMA committees. This were all ministerial appointments based on Lance's fisheries science expertise.
