Who are we?

​We were founded by four Black female shark researchers. We strive to be seen and take up space in a discipline which has been largely inaccessible for scientists like us. We strive to be positive role models for the next generation. We seek to promote diversity and inclusion in shark science and encourage gender minorities of color to push through barriers and contribute knowledge in marine science.
Finally, we hope to topple the system that has historically excluded genders like us and create an equitable path to shark science. We believe diversity in scientists creates diversity in thought, which leads to innovation.

To build skills and community

We will facilitate opportunities to help members get hands-on field experiences in shark research while eliminating the financial burden typically associated with these experiences. We also host a series of personal development conversations as well as other activities to build community. The women of this organization serve as a continued resource and support system.

About miss

MISS provides a community and funding opportunities for gender minorities of color who wish to enter the field of shark sciences. We aim to show that there are many gender minorities of color succeeding in and interested in this field.

​We fundraise and apply for grants to create paid opportunities to attempt to knock down the financial barrier into shark sciences. We encourage other organizations in our field to do the same.
