ABOUT US
The Aquatic Futures Foundation was founded to create equitable access to ocean science education and careers, empowering the next generation of marine conservationists to build a sustainable future for our oceans.
BROADENING HORIZONS
The Aquatic Futures Foundation recognizes the critical importance of diversity in the scientific diving industry. Diverse perspectives are essential for tackling the complex challenges facing our oceans.
The lack of diverse voices in the scientific diving community limits our understanding of marine ecosystems and conservation efforts, hindering innovative solutions.
We're committed to fostering inclusion and empowering underrepresented groups in the diving industry. By providing access to training, mentorship, and opportunities, we're inspiring change and cultivating the next generation of diverse ocean stewards.
"When I started scuba diving, I felt isolated, not seeing anyone who looked like me or shared my life experiences. This sparked a journey of self-discovery and community building that led me to found the Aquatic Futures Now, through mentorship and shared passion, we're empowering others to explore the ocean, connect with their community, and inspire change in marine conservation."
– Kory Lamberts, Founder
We leverage our network of experts to connect students with mentors in their desired fields, facilitating pathways to fulfilling careers in marine conservation that align with their passions and aspirations. Together, we are building a future where our oceans thrive, supported by a diverse and dedicated community of stewards.
