PSG 2024 – Final call for PSG award nominations!

Do you have a seabird science, conservation, and/or education hero? This is your time to recognize those women and men in our society who innovate, challenge, support, advance, mentor, lead, and overall make PSG and the world of seabirds a better place! We are still soliciting nominees for PSG’s Lifetime Achievement Award and Special Achievement Award to be conferred at this year’s meeting.

  • PSG Lifetime Achievement Award: A seabird researcher, educator, or conservationist who has made significant, long-term contributions to seabird science, conservation and education in the Pacific Ocean or the world.
  • PSG Special Achievement Award: An individual who has performed outstanding, long-term service for the Pacific Seabird Group, or who has achieved an outstanding and significant exemplary accomplishment for the betterment of seabird research, education, and/or conservation, or both.

To submit a nomination, please email the Past Chair, Rachel Sprague (pastchair@pacificseabirdgroup.org) by October 15th, 2023, with a written description of why your nominee is deserving of PSG recognition. Please include your contact information, and confirm your commitment to writing up an awards essay for the 2024 meeting program and the following Pacific Seabirds issue if your nominee is chosen. Make sure your description provides enough information to make your case; not all members of the Awards Committee will know all nominees personally! Nominees are evaluated on contributions to seabird research, conservation, education/mentoring, leadership and professional growth of PSG, service to PSG, connection to the region or theme of the upcoming meeting, modeling ethical and professional conduct, and connection to the region or theme of the upcoming meeting—”Faces of Seabird Conservation” in Seattle, Washington. Past awardees can be found here.

Please do not hesitate to let Rachel know if you have any questions. Thank you!
