Description
Proposals are invited from qualified individuals seeking financial support to undertake collaborative research projects that focus on understanding and implementing conservation and sustainable development in coastal areas. Specifically, the Robin Rigby Trust supports individuals who (1) are undertaking community-centred coastal research in collaboration with appropriate coastal communities, coastal research organizations, and/or coastal-focused non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and (2) are either (i) based in Canada and carrying out their project overseas, or (ii) based outside Canada and travelling to Atlantic Canada for their project. The Trust supports partnerships undertaking small-scale “do-able” projects developed in response to local needs, that aim to (a) better understand coastal ecosystems and the value of their biodiversity and conservation, (b) effectively address coastal environmental and resource management problems, (c) assist in developing coastal areas responsibly, and/or (d) improve the livelihoods of those living along the coast.
