Diversity at Blue Ventures

For two decades, we have worked to tackle the pervasive injustice at the heart of our blue economy, by championing the voices and rights of the biggest group of ocean users: small-scale fishers.

We believe that social justice is the cornerstone of effective and equitable ocean conservation, and champion equality, diversity and inclusion throughout our own team, as well as through our programming. We’re an equal opportunities employer and encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply.
