Deadline: 14-Oct-22
Ocean Conservancy’s Ocean Justice team proudly announces the launch of its Ocean Justice Community Grants (OJCG).
OJCG is one manifestation of their commitment to equity and ocean justice, which they define as the fair and equitable distribution of both the benefits of the ocean’s bounty and the burdens of its complex care. Because global ocean inequalities take shape in a myriad of ways, their work as an ocean advocacy organization must be thoughtful, agile, intentional and oriented toward their mission: a healthier ocean, protected by a more just world.
