滋賀縣為了在環境保育上扮演積極角色,也對日本以及亞洲相關領域做出正面貢獻而設立生態學琵琶湖獎。自1991年起,琵琶湖獎每年頒發給在水域生態學上有卓越學術與社會貢獻,並有發展潛力的學者。而日本生態學會自2007年第15屆琵琶湖獎開始主辦。本獎項以琵琶湖為名,琵琶湖是日本最大的淡水湖,也是環境保育、管理以及教育的典範。琵琶湖環境曾經因經濟成長、優養化以及土地過度使用等而受到破壞,但從1970年代晚期開始,在當地居民以及政府的同心協力之下,湖泊環境逐步恢復,得到很大的改善。當地居民視其為母親之湖。

甄選過程主要考量學術研究成就對生態學進展的貢獻(如原創研究、發展新技術或重要發現),或者研究有潛力解決新興環境問題而決定。

第十八屆生態學琵琶湖獎頒發給臺大海洋研究所謝志豪教授。頒獎典禮與得獎演講將在七月十八日於日本草津市的滋賀縣立琵琶湖博物館舉行。典禮中將會由滋賀縣三日月大造知事親自頒獎。

To play an active role in environmental conservation and to make a positive contribution in this field both in Japan and Asia, Shiga Prefectural Government established the Biwako Prize for Ecology. The prize has been awarded annually since 1991 to researchers who have made academically and socially significant achievements in ecological studies in fields related to aquatic environments and who are expected to further develop and advance their research. The Ecological Society of Japan has organized Biwako Prize for Ecology since the 15th Prize in 2007. The prize is named after 琵琶湖 (bi-wa-ko in Japanese). This largest lake in Japan has been recognized as a flagship model of environmental conservation, managements, and educations; the lake environments had been greatly degraded due to economic growth, eutrophication, and land use changes, but citizens as well as the local government have worked intensively from late 1970’s to recover and improve the lake environments. Local people recognize Biwako as the Mother lake.

The Biwako Prixe winner is recognized by research achievements that will contribute greatly to the advancement of ecology (such as unique and original researches, development of new techniques and technologies, and important discoveries), or those that have great potential to solve important emerging issues, in particular, environmental problems.

The 18th Biwako Prize for Ecology is awarded to Prof. Chih-hao Hsieh (Institute of Oceanography, National Taiwan University). The award ceremony and award seminar will be held on 7/18 at Lake Biwa Museum, Kusatsu City, Japan. In the ceremony, Prof. Hsieh will be officially commended by the Shiga prefectural governor (滋賀縣知事), Mr. Taizo Mikazuki (三日月大造).
