Gender equality is critical to achieving transformative action, policies and change towards sustainable ocean management. However, historically women have been largely excluded from science management programmes, including education. Recent commitment promoting gender in science, notably the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, aims ensure equal opportunity engage education, research, decision-making. This paper investigates roles challenges they face, root...
Given that ocean-related challenges are increasingly globalized, complex, and interconnected, international collaboration is essential to move toward a sustainable future achieve the overarching goals of UN Decade Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. To effectively address these challenges, it crucial engage diverse people from different regions, backgrounds, sectors. However, there still lack integration experiential knowledge perspectives in ocean science enhance full participation...
The importance of collecting baseline gender disaggregated data is well acknowledged in science communities, including ocean science. However, the collection not always actioned or prioritized organizations. This paper analyzes barriers to context analyzed this relate three research projects under Programme called “Empowering Women United Nations (UN) Decade Ocean Science for Sustainable Development”. These collected secondary and primary about equality from ocean-related intergovernmental...
Abstract Since the 1950s, there has been an increase of women participating in ocean-going science. However, number scientists field remains significantly less than that men, especially senior roles. In this commentary, we take a feminist perspective to understand challenges face pursuing career Based on limited literature and reports research, identified several cultural structural barriers constraints faced by women. These fell into four main categories: (1) behavioral/social norms...
Gender equality is key to achieving the objectives of United Nation’s Decade Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. In patriarchal societies, men’s dominance has long overshadowed women’s participation in science-related fields, including ocean science. The lack gender-disaggregated data science made it difficult establish extent gender bias across institutions and at all levels. Providing baseline can help address difficulty women accessing employment opportunities managing coastal...
The greatest asset that society has to observe the ocean and better plan for sustainable development, conservation, are people. Ocean observing resources practices will be of most benefit at large, particular sectors if strategies include diverse perspectives solve problems resulting from over-exploitation spaces, innovations in technology, advancing knowledge. This is a new paradigm science should include: (a) Recognition underrepresentation, (b) Value diversity people observing, (c)...

Abstract Central to the achievement of transformational vision and ambitions United Nations Decade Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (Ocean Decade) is human behavioral change. Fundamentally, these changes must embrace equality, diversity, inclusivity, accountability, transparency. The offers an unprecedented opportunity fast-track gender equality empowerment women in ocean science at all levels, achieve it by 2030. This means embedding as a cross-cutting principle planning,...
