Pride in the Ocean Career Panel

June 23, 2022

During the month of June, the National Marine Sanctuary System will be celebrating Ocean Month and LGBT Pride Month through our #PrideInTheOcean campaign. Our goal is to raise the visibility of LGBTQ+ ocean scientists, athletes, appreciators, and more. Our ocean is for everyone, no matter who you love, and we want to know how you take pride in this blue planet. This event will be hosted by Olympic Coast and Mallows Bay-Potomac River national marine sanctuaries and will celebrate the careers of accomplished marine scientists on the panel.
