Shaping the Future of Ocean Science

🐟 The Aquarium is more than a place you visit, it’s a place you belong. Spotlighting inclusivity matters because the ocean belongs to everyone, and so does the work to protect it. When people see themselves reflected in our spaces, stories, and leadership, it opens the door to curiosity, confidence, and connection.

🌊 We share these stories to make one thing clear: you don’t need a specific background, degree, or path to be part of the Aquarium. There are many ways to engage, contribute, and care for the ocean, and all of them are valid. Creating a welcoming, inclusive Aquarium is essential to building a future where conservation is shaped by many voices, perspectives, and communities.

You belong here. Learn more about black voices in ocean science.

Queer people that gatekeep queerness weird me out. Queerness is NOT a mutually exclusive thing, it is inclusive. Kicking out asexuals, trans people & other queer people (bi/pan etc) as well is not being inclusive, it’s being oppressive and ignorant.
