随着越来越多的人认识到需要解决在公海、深海和公海进行科学研究的能力差距问题，已经发起了许多全球倡议，以使海洋科学更具包容性、公平性和可获得性。参加近海研究航行已成为实现这一目标的一项主要活动。虽然令人钦佩，但近海科学中代表性不足的群体的经验表明，需要在方法上进行逐步改变，以确保安全和包容。在歧视、欺凌、骚扰和攻击发生的地方，并不能建设能力;相反，它们使本应解决的根本不平等永久化。然而，我们没有听到这些经验，有必要就如何确保海上安全工作空间进行对话。我们建议采取措施，以支持在离岸科学中代表性不足的群体的包容性和安全性。
With growing acknowledgement of the need to address disparities in capacities to undertake open-ocean, deep ocean, and high-seas scientific research, numerous global initiatives have been launched to make ocean science more inclusive, equitable, and accessible. Participation in offshore research cruises has emerged as a primary activity to achieve this. While admirable, the experiences of underrepresented groups in offshore science show that there needs to be a step change in approaches to ensure safety and inclusion. Instances where discrimination, bullying, harassment, and assault occur do not build capacity; instead, they perpetuate the fundamental inequities that should be addressed. Yet we do not hear about these experiences, and there is a need for conversations about how to ensure safe working spaces at sea. We propose steps to support inclusion and safety for underrepresented groups within offshore science.
