Black in Marine Science
Black In Marine Science started as a week to highlight and amplify Black voices in the field and encourage younger generations, while also shedding light on the lack of diversity in marine science. After the harassment of Black birder Christian Cooper and #BlackBirdersWeek the need for #BlackinMarineScienceWeek was evident. It started with a tweet from Dr. Tiara Moore and grew to a team of organizers putting together an online event.
We hoped to have a successful week, but we were blown out of the water when we discovered that so many people were impacted by our events! We created a community of Black marine scientists that was much needed during the isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. After the rewarding turnout of #BlackinMarineScienceWeek we decided it was time to form a non-profit and continue with our goal of highlighting and amplifying Black voices!
