World Oceans Day Conference

June 7th, 2019

Oceanic Global is the non-profit and production partner to the United Nations for this year’s World Oceans Day 2019 celebration.

Gender & the Ocean

Our ocean is inclusive. No matter who we are or how we self-identify, we are all connected to the ocean. The ocean is gender neutral but gender still comes into play – and the representation is far from equal.

World Oceans Day

This World Oceans Day, we’re partnering with the United Nations to advocate for gender parity in all ocean-related industries. We’re shedding light on the realities of gender roles in the ocean and telling the untold stories of: forced laborers, scientists, women in shipping, fisheries workers, economists, and more as well as of their experiences with gender and the oceans. Our oceans need our voice. Let’s come together and make sure everyone is heard.
