Scholarship to promote success in Marine Science
A Masters student at the University of Auckland had more than one reason to celebrate today not only was it Oliver Hannafords 25th birthday, but he was also the first student to be awarded a new joint Ministry of Fisheries and National Institute of Water and Atmosphere (NIWA) graduate scholarship in quantitative fisheries science worth $25,000 a year.
Minister of Fisheries and Associate Minister of Tertiary Education Jim Anderton presented him with a cheque and a birthday cake in Auckland today. The contribution of skilled marine scientists to sustainable fisheries is invaluable. There is a world-wide shortage of marine scientists with strong mathematical and statistical backgrounds. Such skills are essential to fisheries science so the Ministry has initiated this scholarship programme as a first step towards filling the gap, he said.
Oliver Hannaford will be undertaking a Master of Science in Statistics degree, developing mathematical models of the west coast snapper fishery to use in assessing the health of the snapper stock. Im deeply grateful for the scholarship, he said. Ill be able to concentrate fully on my research without having to worry about the future. And its really encouraging to see the government investing in students.
