Journalists from countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea can apply for a grant.
Earth Journalism Network's Mediterranean Media Initiative is offering reporting grants to support investigations which seek to expose unauthorized fishing by industrial or semi-industrial vessels, as well as other harmful environmental practices impacting the marine environment.
Five grants up to EUR4,000 will be awarded.
In addition to the grants, journalists will participate in a 90-minute webinar featuring investigation and thematic experts; have access to satellite tracking, illegal fishing, and thematic experts able to cross-reference data and evidence, if required; complete a tutorial in evidence cross-referencing of satellite data; and more.
Only applications in English or French will be accepted. Teams of journalists can also apply.
The application deadline is March 31.
