Washington Sea Grant Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Fellowship
The Washington Sea Grant Marine Carbon Dioxide Removal Fellowship supports research and community engagement to advance equitable, science-based marine carbon removal in the Salish Sea.
Funder: Washington Sea Grant
Due Dates (Anticipated): January 2027 (Full application deadline, projected)
Funding Amounts: $68,500 total: $65,000 stipend plus $3,500 professional development budget for a 12-month fellowship
Summary: Supports leadership in community-driven marine carbon dioxide removal science and engagement in the Salish Sea, emphasizing collaboration and transparency in climate solutions.
Description
This fellowship is designed to advance responsible marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR) in the Salish Sea by ensuring that scientific models for tracking and verifying carbon removal are informed by the perspectives of Tribal rightsholders, coastal communities, environmental justice organizations, resource managers, and scientists. The selected fellow will lead a regional community convening, engage in sustained outreach, and foster collaboration to align mCDR monitoring and modeling tools with local values and priorities. The program offers immersive exposure to cutting-edge ocean science, community-engaged research, and a diverse professional network across the U.S. and Canada, while contributing to climate solutions that address the needs of affected communities.
