Scripps Institute of Oceanography student opportunity
The Conservation Leadership Program, led by Dr. Octavio Aburto at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is a fully funded and highly competitive program rooted in a legacy of transformative ocean conservation. Building on Dr. Aburto’s research in mangrove and rocky reef ecosystems, as well as his work as a National Geographic Explorer and conservation photographer, the Program empowers young leaders to protect marine ecosystems globally. Inspired by renowned oceanographer Walter Munk, a mentor and friend to Dr. Aburto, this program builds on Munk’s vision of community-driven conservation, exemplified by the success of Cabo Pulmo’s reef restoration. With a network of seasoned practitioners from Mexico and the U.S., this initiative brings together diverse expertise to foster cross-border collaboration in marine conservation.
