FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS
The GCA Award In
Coastal Wetlands Studies
SEEKS to promote wetlands conservation through the
support of young scientists in their field work and
research. Recognizing the growing value placed on
wetlands, the GCA created this award to encourage
sound scientific knowledge of coastal wetlands (defined
as those tidal or nontidal wetlands found in the coastal
states, including those of the Great Lakes). Applicants
may propose a wetlands program of their choice at a
leading educational institution within the United States
that specializes in wetlands studies. The Virginia Institute
of Marine Science (VIMS) of The College of William
& Mary, is the selector and administrator for this
award.
