Gender equity in ocean science : amplifying voices, increasing impact / author, CarolAnne Black.: Fs23-631/2020E-PDF

"Women and those who identify as non-binary are underrepresented in ocean science globally, particularly in decision-making positions. To achieve sustainable ocean governance, increase innovation and discoveries, and ensure all the best people come to and stay in ocean science, gender equity is required. This paper presents six recommendations to support gender equity in ocean science, developed through a literature review and 18 expert interviews with ocean leaders from 11 countries, representing ocean research, policy, and industry. The driver for this paper is Canada's commitment to gender equity as the Ocean Observation Champion of the Commonwealth Blue Charter. The recommendations may be applied beyond the Commonwealth, and interview participants that informed this paper are from Commonwealth and non-Commonwealth countries"--Executive summary, page 2.
