Diversity Statement
The southeastern United States is an underwater rainforest with an incredible number of aquatic species. This rich diversity is part of our natural heritage, a gift to be discovered, appreciated and protected. Similarly, the diversity of human experience in our region is part of our cultural heritage, a gift to be celebrated, respected, and shared. Whether a natural ecosystem or a human community, diversity creates strength and resilience. For these reasons, we are committed to increasing the diversity of those we work with, including our staff, board, volunteers, members, visitors, partners, and supporters. Together, we will connect people with nature and empower them to make informed decisions about water and wildlife.
