Doing ocean science and "going out there" can be perilous, and require durable and expensive equipment, therefore "modern ocean science" has been dominated by nations that could afford such investments, namely the "global north". The urgency of many "global south" nations to protect their waters' resources from overexploitation, and the rapid development of more affordable sensing technologies are opening new possibilities to avoid "data colonization" by allowing coastal communities to produce and own their own environmental and biological data to name a few. In this track, we would like to explore how community science, citizen science, and open science can make ocean science more inclusive, and more likely to enable a culturally diverse approach to sustainable fisheries management and creating protected ecosystems. We would like to feature projects from different geographies and cultures and create a bridge between the industry, academia, and ocean communities.

Feedback: Science can be a “rich man’s sport”. Most people are focused on making a living from the ocean.
