The Grantham Prize for Environmental Journalism
A winner from the Archives:
2010 Winner: Alanna Mitchell
Journalist and author Alanna Mitchell reported a largely unexamined ecological crisis in her book, Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Crisis. Mitchell traveled the world to join scientists in the field as they studied the ocean's "vital signs." Her beautiful writing makes for an engaging, accessible, and authoritative account of the science behind the story.
Encouraging Exceptional Environmental Journalism
