[SEMCO] NERR Graduate Research Fellowship Announcement

[Sheri DeRosa]

The National Estuarine Research Reserve System's Graduate Research 
Fellowship provides master's degree students and Ph.D. candidates with 
an opportunity to conduct research of local and national significance 
that focuses on enhancing coastal zone management.

Fellows conduct their research within a National EstuarineResearch 
Reserve and gain hands-on experience by participating in their host 
reserve's research and monitoring programs.

Graduate Research Fellowship projects are based on the reserves' local 
needs, the reserve system's national priorities and the students' interest.

A majority of the projects funded to date have addressed the pressing 
issues of non-point source pollution and habitat conservation and 
restoration.

All fellowship projects address issues important to coastal zone 
management and enhance our understanding of estuarine ecosystems. 
National Estuarine Research Reserve Fellows are the leaders for the next 
generation of estuarine scientists; they are influencing the decisions 
made today for a better coast tomorrow.

The application deadline is November 1, 2006, for consideration as a 
2007 fellow. For more information, visit
