Congratulations to all recipients!
Thank you to all applicants and recommenders. You all help to make the ICRS a thriving Society. Thank you for all that you do to investigate, protect, and manage coral reef ecosystems.
At this time, we do not anticipate having a second call for student travel award proposals for the ICRS2021 meeting due to budgetary constraints related to COVID19. However, if additional funds are received through sponsorships, we will be sure to broadly announce it on our website, member emails, the coral-list, and other social media outlets.
