We believe that by educating underrepresented demographics about the environmental benefits that aquaculture provides, we can create a more diverse and inclusive aquaculture industry.
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES YOU A PART OF OUR SUCCESS!
YOUR SUPPORT MAKES YOU A PART OF OUR SUCCESS!
Minorities In Aquaculture was created by a vision of a diverse, inclusive aquaculture industry.
We are passionate about the restoration of keystone species, especially shellfish, both locally and globally. But we believe that the restoration of oysters and other critical shellfish populations requires more people and more diversity.
Currently, women—especially women of color—are the minority in the aquaculture field.
At Minorities in Aquaculture, our goal is to educate women of color on the environmental benefits of aquaculture and support them as they launch and sustain their careers in the field, growing the seafood industry and creating an empowering space for women along the way.
WHAT IS AN MIA CHAMPION?
A CHAMPION is anyone and everyone that supports the mission, vision and efforts of our organization.
In addition to contributions, our CHAMPIONS can support us by advocating and educating others about who we are and what we do.
