In honor of #HispanicHeritageMonth, this week we’re celebrating the Deepening Inclusion Via Engagement Support (DIVES) program and awardees! 🎉 The #DIVESprogram partners with Latino community leaders to increase the diversity of certified SCUBA divers, providing for a more inclusive ocean space, while mobilizing local support for protected areas in creative new ways. When more Latino divers can experience the wonder of the ocean, we’re increasing Latino representation and action, overcoming obstacles, and leading to more robust opportunities for new MPAs to be envisioned and existing ones to be explored. The National Ocean Protection Coalition is proud to support Hispanic Access' leadership of this program. Together, we are breaking barriers by: ✅Providing innovative and inclusive pathways to conservation leadership ✅Creating novel approaches to professional development and livelihoods ✅Strengthening boots-on-the-ground/fins-in-the-water efforts for marine and coastal protections in settings ✅Uplifting Latino conservation strategies and demonstrating Latino championship for a regenerative, accessible, and equitable ocean for all ✅Building an ecosystem of Latinos dedicated to protecting every drop of water across the aquascapes of our comunidades ✅Bringing more communities on board and providing direct support for locally led and locally designed conservation efforts Follow along as we celebrate the accomplishments of this year’s awardees!
