The Foundation is committed to protecting the marine environment with impactful education and research
Marine Science Documentary
We are happy to support White Rock, an Australian documentary premiering at the UN General Assembly in New York. The film details the destruction caused by sea urchins devouring kelp forests and showcases collaborative efforts for ecosystem restoration.
Robson and Robertson Awards
We established the Robson and Robertson Awards to support the next generation of marine scientists in their academic pursuits and early research careers. These awards honour Professors Alan Robson and Alistar Robertson, who were instrumental in founding the UWA Oceans Institute.
Robson and Robertson Research Fellowship
We also empower outstanding early career researchers through the Robson and Robertson Research Fellowship.
Jock Clough Marine Foundation Scholarship
In light of the increasing financial challenges confronting emerging students in embarking on a post-graduate marine science degree we have decided upon establishing a new national scholarship.
Western Australian World Ocean Day
World Ocean Day on June 8 provides an annual moment to draw the Western Australian community’s attention to our extraordinarily diverse marine environment, and to motivate everyone – from school children to thought leaders – to take specific, meaningful action to keep our big blue backyard healthy, productive, and accessible to all.
Chair of Marine Science, UWA Oceans Institute
The Foundation was proud to establish a Chair of Marine Science in perpetuity at the UWA Oceans Institute. This endowment, named the Jock Clough Marine Foundation Oceans Chair, signifies our shared and unwavering commitment to marine research.
