Minorities in Shark Sciences is a registered U.S. non-profit organization whose mission is to create opportunities for minorities to participate and contribute to the field of marine science. [1] Launched on June 19, 2021, Juneteenth, the organization focuses on helping women of colour who are interested in marine science to access educational experiences at no cost.[2] Their first workshop was held in early 2021, in Key Biscayne, Florida, where over the course of the weekend, attendees got hands-on experience tagging sharks, and learning a fishing technique called longline fishing.[2]
The 4 co-founders, Jasmin Graham, Amani Webber-Schultz, Carlee Jackson, and Jaida Elcock connected on Twitter, now known as X, through the hashtag #BlackInNature.[2]
Educational Outreach[edit]
In 2022, Minorities in Shark Sciences partnered with National Geographic for SharkFest.[3] [4] The organization also hosts curriculum, such as their Gill Guardians program, on their website.[1][5]
