The Bren School of Environmental Science & Management<

Walton Foundation and provides full fellowship support for a two-year
Master of Environmental Science & Management
http://www.bren.ucsb.edu/academics/MESM.html> degree (MESM), with a
concentration in Coastal Marine Resources Management, for up to four highly
qualified students dedicated to a career in Latin America.

The mission of the Bren School is to play a leading role in researching
environmental issues, training scientists and environmental management
professionals, and identifying and solving environmental problems around
the world. The Bren MESM program offers an interdisciplinary,
solution-oriented curriculum including rigorous course work<

communications and eco-entrepreneurship<
http://www.bren.ucsb.edu/academics/eco_entrepreneur.htm>, and career
placement assistance. Bren School alumnae are poised to successfully assume
leadership positions in a variety of contexts.

*FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM*

The Latin American Fishery Fellows (LAFF) program offers a rich education
in science, economics, policy, and law, augmented by specialized training
in innovative approaches to sustainable fisheries management and marine
conservation. Fellows will receive career-oriented training, including
preparation in collaborative problem solving and development of leadership
and project management skills. The LAFF program includes:

  - Tuition and academic fees for the two-year MESM program at the Bren
School
  - Personal living allowance, graduate student health insurance, books,
supplies
  - Airfare for two international trips per year to and from Latin America

marine conservation
  - Optional intensive English language training prior to starting the
MESM program

The goal of the program is to train a new generation of marine-resource

broader goal is to build capacity in Latin American countries to ensure
abundant seafood, support coastal communities, and sustain marine cosystems.
