Registration for Capitol Hill Ocean Week 2021 is now open, the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation announced this week.
The CHOW conference will take place virtually from June 8-10, 2021, according to the announcement:
“This year’s conference will focus on building a more racially equitable and just movement for our ocean and Great Lakes.”
CHOW 2021 will examine how exclusionary practices and systemic racism impact conservation, science, and policy; and how strengthening justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion will improve the sustainability of the USA’s ocean, coasts, and Great Lakes.
The conference will also provide a platform for panelists and participants to identify and discuss the priorities that could shape an ocean justice policy agenda: if ocean policy were just and equitable, what would it look like, and what are the actions we collectively need to take to get there?
