Black Ocean Citizens
Who We Are

More People = More Impact

Black Ocean Citizens is committed to advancing educational programs, scholarships, community outreach, and partnerships with organisations focused on diversifying the fisheries, coast and ocean sector. With our educational activities, and by telling the stories of under-represented groups, we are addressing inequality and misrepresentation in the sector. We collaborate and engage with local communities and experts in the field to promote healthy, diverse and sustainable oceans.
