Dear MARMAM'ers, WDC is delighted to announce the 2016 WDC Bharathi Viswanathan Award for Innovative and Non-Invasive Research. WDC strives to ensure that benign research methods are promoted as a guiding principle, both for the organisation and the researchers that we fund.
Up to £5,000 is available for the recipient of this annual award. The only restrictions that apply are that the project must utilize only non-invasive techniques and ultimately aim to benefit the conservation management or welfare of whales and/or dolphins. Applications must be on a WDC Research Award Form (see website<http://uk.whales.org/wdc-in-action/wdc-award-for-innovative-and-non-invasive-research>) and will be accepted at any time until the closing date, midnight (GMT) February 14th 2016. The Award recipient will be chosen by March 14th 2016. Through this Award, WDC aims to showcase non-invasive research methodologies, highlighting the fact that many of these methods provide scientific data of excellent quality, whilst also promoting the development of innovative and non-invasive approaches towards studying cetaceans. Please visit our website for more details and application forms or if you’re attending the SMM Biennial pop along and meet one of the team at booth #309. http://uk.whales.org/wdc-in-action/wdc-award-for-innovative-and-non-invasive-research Good luck, Nicola Nicola Hodgins WDC Head of science and research T - +44 1249449537 M - +44 7741497597 Skype – nicola.hodgins Twitter – nicola_hodgins whales.org
