The Society for Women in Marine Science seeks to bring women and marginalized genders together in marine science to discuss, celebrate, and promote their research and experiences. We have several chapters across the US and Africa that operate at a local level, hosting outreach, professional development, and networking events in their local communities. Our Steering Committee hosts professional development webinars, networking opportunities, a bi-annual symposium, and a mentorship program at the international level.
