The Pew Charitable Trusts have chosen six scientists as the 2024 recipients of the Pew fellowship in marine conservation. The researchers—from Canada, China, Denmark, the Philippines, the United Kingdom and the United States—join a community of more than 200 Pew marine fellows who have undertaken projects to deepen our understanding of the ocean and advance the sustainable use of marine resources.

The 2024 fellows will lead innovative projects that help protect and restore crucial ocean habitats, as well as improve the sustainability and equitable management of fisheries that feed millions of people.

The Pew Fellows Program in Marine Conservation awards mid-career scientists and other experts $150,000 grants over three years to pursue conservation-oriented research projects. Fellows are selected by an international committee of marine science experts following a rigorous nomination and review process. Pew has recognized 208 marine fellows from more than 40 countries since the start of the program.
