Hi.. I have got an M.Res.in biodiversity conservation (fish ecology-my project) at Leeds uni in UK last september, before that I got MSc in Zoology (aquatic ecology) from my home city Tripoli university in Jan 2004. I am looking for a PhD scholarship or studentship in UK or the netherlands..because my country is classified "rich" I am a bit skiptical about applying to universities directly.. is any knew any oppurtunity in Aquatic or marine ecology? Can I apply?

The people most likely to know about any funding which may be available to you will be the departments offering PhDs in your area of research, the British Council in your home country, or your own department of education.
