Our mission is to advance the field of shark, ray and other marine sciences by challenging the status quo of under representation of gender minorities from historically-excluded communities of color and the Global South, and providing accessible and equitable pathways to research, conservation, and education. We seek to promote diversity and inclusion in shark science and encourage gender minorities of color to push through barriers and contribute knowledge in this vitally important field.

“MISS is more than an organization. It is a community of caring and supportive people.” - MISS Member

Together, we will make a difference for future generations of shark scientists.
