New industry award launched to recognise successful marine science businesses
The Society of Maritime Industries, through its constituent association the Association of Marine Scientific Industries (AMSI), is launching a new award to recognise individuals who have contributed most to the marine science and technology business sector in the UK.
The Society's Chief Executive, John Murray commented on announcing the award, "the UK marine science sector is a vibrant industry epitomised by the enthusiastic and successful entrepreneurs who work within it. This award will highlight the important work of the sector particularly at a time of enhanced public concern for the marine environment and its close relationship to climate change."

Nominations will be considered by a distinguished panel of judges lead by oceanographer Dr Ralph Rayner, Vice President of IMarEST.
