Statement of Commitment to Diversity

The Benioff Ocean Science Laboratory recognizes the deep abuses committed as a result of systemic racism, white privilege, and environmental injustice. We understand it is our duty, as an organization and as individuals, to take concrete steps against these abuses and towards a more equitable and inclusive approach to addressing the problems facing our oceans and our communities. Therefore, the Benioff Ocean Science Laboratory commits to promoting justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in our field of marine science. We proactively strive to bring the voices, intellect, and talents of people of all colors, backgrounds, and identities into our work to further science and conservation, and we commit to taking concrete actions to achieve our vision of a more diverse and inclusive organization. The planet’s health relies on all of us working together for the benefit of all.
