Pew marine conservation fellowships are regarded as the world’s preeminent awards for marine conservation. They have been granted since 1990 to fund innovative work in marine ecosystems, fisheries management and coastal conservation as well as efforts to solve marine contamination.
Since the program’s inception in 1990—initially with a broader focus on environmental issues—its advisory committees have selected more than 140 fellows. The fellowship is awarded annually to five outstanding global leaders or teams working to preserve and protect the world’s oceans and marine species. The Pew fellowship provides flexible support and encourages creative, interdisciplinary approaches to the preservation of marine systems.
The $150,000 award is a three-year, project-based grant. These grants are given to mid-career professionals whose future contributions to marine science will be significantly enhanced by the fellowship. Each year, a group of international marine conservation leaders are invited by the Pew fellows program to nominate outstanding individuals engaged in interdisciplinary, innovative work on marine protection. Applicants are judged by an advisory committee of global experts.
