The application deadline for the Emily B. Shane (EBS) Award has been extended to March 28, 2025, at midnight (00:00 UTC).

The EBS Award supports conservation-oriented, non-invasive field research on free-ranging odontocetes and sirenians. The award honors Emily B. Shane (1924–1995), a dedicated conservationist and amateur naturalist.

Funding is awarded to projects with clear conservation priorities for an odontocete or sirenian species, population, or critical habitat. Special consideration is given to research that positively impacts local human communities through increased public awareness, capacity building, or education.

A total of $10,000 USD (~15,000 AUD, 7,800 GBP, 72,000 RMB) is available. In 2024–25, two awards of $10,000 USD each will be granted, including one specifically for research, education, or outreach projects focusing on small-scale fisheries mitigation.

Applications will only be accepted HERE.
