The A.G. Huntsman
Award was established in 1980 by the Canadian
marine science community to recognize excellence
of research and outstanding contributions to
marine sciences. The award honours marine
scientists of any nationality who have had and
continue to have a significant influence on the
course of marine scientific thought. It is
presented annually in one of three categories:
- marine geosciences
- physical/chemical oceanography
- biological oceanography and fisheries
science
The Award is named in honour of Archibald
Gowanlock Huntsman (1883-1973), a pioneer
Canadian oceanographer and fishery biologist.
The A.G. Huntsman Award, a specially-designed and
engraved sterling silver medal, is presented by
the Royal Society of Canada during a ceremony at
the Bedford Institute of Oceanography. As well,
the recipient delivers a distinguished lecture in
his or her field of specialty.
