The Alasdair Downes Marine Conservation Fund We would like to bring your attention to a new marine conservation project-funding opportunity. The Alasdair Downes Marine Conservation Fund will be awarding several small project grants to support younger researchers/educationalists to carry out projects that contribute to marine conservation as well as contributing to their career and personal development. The researchers must be UK based but the research may take place throughout the world. The deadline for applications is 19th May 2013. Full details can be found at the Fund’s web sitehttp://www.alasdair-downes-fund.info/. including information from the recipients in 2012. If you know of a young person who could apply for this could you please pass the information on to them. with best wishes Elizabeth Downes
