It was announced on Tuesday morning in Port of Spain that the Awards’ Regional Eminent Persons Panel has selected the 36-year-old as its Joint Science & Technology Laureate, for her commitment to improving the conservation of the Caribbean and global marine environments through marine science, policy, and communication.
Dr Amon’s research focuses on deep-sea biodiversity and the impacts of human activity on these poorly known ecosystems.
Among the other 2024 awardees announced include three Barbadians – musical creative Dr Stefan Walcott, disability activist Kerryann Ifill, and pediatric neurologist Dr Morris Scantlebury. Jamaican Customer Experience entrepreneur Johann Epstein is the 2024 Entrepreneurship Laureate.
