Norman S. Baldwin Fishery Science Scholarship
The Norman S. Baldwin Fishery Science Scholarships are awarded annually to a deserving graduate student conducting research pertaining to Great Lakes fisheries. The scholarship is sponsored by the Great Lakes Fishery Commission, IAGLR's oldest sustaining member. The award recipient will be selected by a panel of judges appointed by the chair of the IAGLR Awards Committee. The winners will be announced each year at the banquet during the association's annual meeting and receive $6,000 US.
About Norman S. Baldwin
Norman S. Baldwin was the first executive secretary of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. Norm led the commission for 15 years, from 1957 until he died, tragically, in 1971. He was born in Toronto in 1920, studied zoology at the University of Toronto under the guidance of Ray Langford and Fred Fry, and prior to joining the GLFC directed the fisheries research program for the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests (now the OMNR). He was widely recognized as a scientist and as a leader, well-qualified for the challenge of leading a newly formed international commission. Norm is fondly remembered by his many colleagues in the Ontario government, the GLFC, and its many partner agencies.
