Ralph Brown Expedition Award

This award was created in memory of Ralph Brown whose passion was jet-boating the wild rivers of the world. He led many expeditions and competed in the top international jet-boating races, winning the world championship trophy in 1996.

The grant is a single annual award worth £15,000, offered to the leader of an expedition working in a marine environment. This includes the study of coral reefs, rivers, lakes and shallow seas. The project should be of value to the host country and, where possible, to the local community.

Applicants must be fellows or members of the Society. The grant is open to applicants from any nation.

  Next Deadline: 27 November 2009
