2008 Request for Proposals

The SeaDoc Society announces its 2008 Request for Proposals in the area of marine fish and wildlife and ecosystem health. The scope encompasses the health of all marine vertebrates and a suite of invertebrates and the biotic and abiotic environments upon which they depend for survival with a current emphasis on issues facing the inland marine waters of Washington State and British Columbia (Puget Sound/Northwest Straits/Georgia Basin; an area commonly referred to as the Salish Sea).

All SeaDoc Society-funded projects, regardless of where they are conducted, must have implications for understanding or enhancing the health of this region and its wildlife. The goal of this research is to provide objective science on issues concerning wildlife and ecosystem health in an effort to inform and guide effective policy and management. The SeaDoc Society does not take policy positions nor does it serve in an advocacy role. Proposals must scientifically address one of the priority issues or questions identified in the RFP (pdf format).
