“…Only recently have works begun to bring to light the many concerns of LGBTQ+ scientists with respect to their performance evaluations and, ultimately, their academic careers. While evidence from marine conservation and sciences is largely missing, instances of discrimination, bullying, and harassment all lead to a higher likelihood of LGBTQ+ scientists leaving academia (Taylor, 2021).…”

“…However, the lack of diversity in marine conservation is reflected in the editorial process leading to scientific publications and the resulting body of publications, whether these be papers presented at conferences or in science journals (see text footnote 2). Similar to other disciplines, the presence of structural inequality with in the marine conservation and science's academic architechture affects certain individuals' ability to conduct science and communicate their work (Taylor, 2021). In fact, this issue is potentially more pervasive in the marine sciences, with it and other 7 NOAA's Capacity Building Partnership for the U.S.…”

“…LGBTQ+ and women scientists who change their names after gender reassignment or after marriage, experience a negative impact to their publication record and thus their careers. Typically, they are "outed" by their publication history with hardly any options to update their names on publications (Taylor, 2021).…”

Marine conservation sciences have traditionally been, and remain, non-diverse work environments with many barriers to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI). These barriers disproportionately affect entry of early career scientists and practitioners and limit the success of marine conservation professionals from under-represented, marginalized, and overburdened groups. These groups specifically include women, LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). However, the issues also arise from the global North/South and East/West divide with under-representation of scientists from the South and East in the global marine conservation and science arena. Persisting inequities in conservation, along with a lack of inclusiveness and diversity, also limit opportunities for innovation, cross-cultural knowledge exchange, and effective implementation of conservation and management policies. As part of its mandate to increase diversity and promote inclusion of underrepresented groups, the Diversity and Inclusion committee of the Society for Conservation Biology-Marine Section (SCB Marine) organized a JEDI focus group at the Sixth International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC6) which was held virtually. The focus group included a portion of the global cohort of IMCC6 attendees who identified issues affecting JEDI in marine conservation and explored pathways to address those issues. Therefore, the barriers and pathways identified here focus on issues pertinent to participants’ global regions and experiences. Several barriers to just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive conservation science and practice were identified. Examples included limited participation of under-represented minorities (URM) in research networks, editorial biases against URM, limited professional development and engagement opportunities for URM and non-English speakers, barriers to inclusion of women, LGBTQ+, and sensory impaired individuals, and financial barriers to inclusion of URM in all aspects of marine conservation and research. In the current policy brief, we explore these barriers, assess how they limit progress in marine conservation research and practice, and seek to identify initiatives for improvements. We expect the initiatives discussed here to advances practices rooted in principles of JEDI, within SCB Marine and, the broader conservation community. The recommendations and perspectives herein broadly apply to conservation science and practice, and are critical to effective and sustainable conservation and management outcomes.
