Daughters of the Deep Is Striving to Increase Female Representation In Ocean Industries

Daughters of the Deep is an Australian nonprofit aiming to boost female representation in ocean science. Currently, women make up about 37% of the workforce but face challenges like harassment and barriers to funding. The organization helps young women gain skills in scuba diving and ocean sciences. They promote mentorship and policies for better work-life balance to create a fairer field. This effort not only supports gender equity but also enhances ocean research and innovation.
