In some locations there’s great destination diving with only 1-2 hours, but depending upon where you live, 4-6 hours may be reasonable and well worth the drive time.
The ocean faces many threats, and we need all hands on deck if we’re going to solve the complex problems plaguing our environment. Unfortunately, the world of marine biology and ocean conservation has often fallen short of the important goals of equity and inclusion. My field of shark and ray science has an especially dismal record—in 2019, the American Elasmobranch Society had over 400 members, and just one identified as Black. The non-profit Minorities in Shark Sciences, or MISS, is working to make the field safe, welcoming and inclusive for all.
There’s a lot of information available online about the problems that our oceans face, climate change, and plastic pollution. So in this blog, we want to celebrate the best ocean conservation organizations who are working tirelessly to turn the tide on marine pollution, marine life protection, coral reef and ocean conservation.
