SEASTR is committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive outdoor community where all, regardless of their background, ethnicity, race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, ability, or socioeconomic status, feel welcomed, respected, and valued. We believe that the outdoors should be a space where everyone has the opportunity to explore, learn, and thrive, free from discrimination and prejudice.

Our Commitment to Diversity: We celebrate the experiences and perspectives that diversity brings. We actively seek to include women from all walks of life, ensuring that our programs, events, and leadership reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. By embracing diversity, we aim to create a vibrant and inclusive maritime community where every being can find her place and voice.
Our Commitment to Equity: We are dedicated to promoting equity within our organization and the maritime culture as a whole. We recognize that systemic barriers exist that prevent certain individuals from accessing marine activities and resources. We are committed to identifying and dismantling these barriers, ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, has equal access to opportunities, resources, and leadership roles within our organization.
Our Commitment to Inclusion: We strive to create an inclusive environment where every female identifying individual feels a sense of belonging. We actively listen to and learn from the experiences of others, fostering a culture of empathy, understanding, and mutual respect. We provide a safe space for everyone to express themselves, share their stories, and connect with one another, fostering a sense of camaraderie and belonging among our community members.
Our Ongoing Journey: We acknowledge that the work of creating a truly diverse, equitable, and inclusive outdoor community is ongoing and requires continuous effort and dedication. We are committed to learning, growing, and adapting our practices to better serve underrepresented individuals. We welcome feedback from our community members and partners as we strive to improve and enhance our DEI initiatives.
By embracing diversity, promoting equity, and fostering inclusion, we believe that we can create a vibrant and empowering marine community where all can thrive, learn, and find solace in the beauty of nature. Together, we will continue to work towards a future where the sea truly belongs to everyone.
