Dear all,

The sixth annual Peter Benchley Ocean Awards will take place the 
evening of Wednesday May 15, 2013 at the Carnegie Institution in 
Washington, D.C. This is the only major awards program dedicated to 
recognizing excellence in ocean conservation solutions across a wide 
range of categories including science, policy, media, youth and 
citizen activism.

Many of you may know Nancy Baron and the COMPASS organization that 
have helped train many ocean scientists in how to communicate with 
journalists, the public and policymakers. They will be awarded the 
2013 Peter Benchley Ocean Award for Excellence in Media
