Grant Overview
Readiness for Young Innovators in Newfoundland and Labrador
The Marine Conservation Innovation Fund invites applications from young leaders in Newfoundland and Labrador who are passionate about marine conservation and innovation. Eligible candidates must propose novel digital tools aimed at monitoring ocean health, with an emphasis on measurable outcomes. The fund specifically seeks projects that address the unique challenges facing the province’s marine ecosystems, such as overfishing and habitat degradation, fostering a new generation of environmental stewards committed to sustainability.
Application Requirements for the Fund
