Bioacoustic research from Africa and by African scientists is not well represented in the global field and thus the African Bioacoustics Community strives to shine a light on the achievements of bioacoustics research in Africa. We work towards equal representation, access to crucial learning and networking opportunities, and providing an environment where information flows freely between scientists, research labs, countries, and continents. Sustainability and minimizing our carbon footprint is something we value highly and we work hard to ensure that our events are sustainable, plastic-free and carbon responsible. As part of our effort in this matter, we ask that members of our community consider carbon-offsetting measures or donating to a cause that aligns with our values.

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.
