Abstract
This paper is being put forth to PCCRC to honor Matthew (Matt) Myers, a Ph.D. candidate in University of Alaska Fairbanks’ (UAF) School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences (SFOS), who died recently in the process of being trained for scientific diving certification. The proposal is to develop a travel fund in Matt’s name, for graduate student travel. The Matt Myers Memorial Graduate Student Travel Fund would award two $1,000 travel awards annually to students, with a preference towards students in marine biology or fisheries. While it would be nice to create such an award with a legacy, this proposal is to develop the travel fund for an initial five year period.
