Munch is a fisheries ecologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Beck is lead scientist of the global marine team at the Nature Conservancy. Each will receive $150,000 for a three-year scientific research or conservation project designed to address critical challenges facing the oceans.

Munch's project will create tools to identify climate-driven changes in fishery demographics, while Beck's project will promote "green infrastructure" to reduce the impact of climate change on developing coastal communities.
