Fiorenza Micheli
FIORENZA MICHELI, associate professor of biology at Stanford's Hopkins Marine Station, has been awarded one of five 2009 Pew Fellowships in Marine Conservation.
“The Pew Fellowship in Marine Conservation program seeks out emerging talent and innovative thinkers who can move ocean conservation forward in bold leaps,” said Joshua S. Reichert, managing director of the Pew Environment Group, in a release announcing the awards. The Environment Group is part of the Pew Charitable Trusts.
Micheli will receive a $150,000 grant, which she will use for a project assessing human threats to Mediterranean marine ecosystems and their cumulative impacts on deep and shallow Mediterranean reefs. Micheli plans to use this critical information to foster better management of existing marine protected areas and to help establish new protected areas in the Mediterranean.
