Nominations for the sixth annual Ocean Awards are now open. The Ocean Awards recognise individuals, community groups, organisations and businesses that have made significant contributions to the health of the marine environment, to the sustainable management of marine resources, or to public engagement with the oceans and seas during the qualifying period. Awards are made in six categories:
(1) Local Hero (2) Science (3) Innovation (4) Public Awareness (5) Lifetime Achievement (6) Young Initiative
Each year an awards ceremony is held at the spectacular Fishmongers’ Hall in London to celebrate the winners and runners up of the Ocean Awards. The winners are acknowledged and presented with a customdesigned award by Crystal Caviar. Guests include friends and supporters of BLUE and BOAT International, as well as scientists, corporates and experts in ocean conservation, so the ceremony is also an excellent networking opportunity.
The Awards are global in coverage and nominations from outside the G7 countries are encouraged.
Nomination must be made in English and using the online form; supporting materials are advantageous.
The Ocean Awards is a joint initiative between Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE) and BOAT International (BOAT).
2020 BLUE Marine Foundation is a UK registered charity number 1137209
