WINNER of the Anne Murphy
Ocean Stewards Scholarship:
ELLA ASHFORD

 

Award winner Ella Ashford

Ella Ashford, age 11, with former volunteer, the late Roger Wilson, in 2013

Ella Ashford has been awarded the 2021 Anne Murphy Ocean Stewards Scholarship, a $1,500 award sponsored by the Port Townsend Marine Science Center. Ella plans to use her scholarship to pursue a degree in environmental science at Willamette University in Oregon.

Ashford is well acquainted with the marine environment. In 2013, at age 11, she volunteered with the Marine Mammal Stranding Network to help protect a northern elephant seal pup that had come ashore in downtown Port Townsend. Ashford wrote about the experience on the PTMSC blog and the unusual story was written up in the Peninsula Daily News.
