海洋保护科学传统上是，并且仍然是一个非多样化的工作环境，在正义、公平、多样性和包容性（JEDI）方面存在许多障碍。这些障碍不成比例地影响了早期职业科学家和从业者的进入，并限制了来自代表性不足、边缘化和负担过重群体的海洋保护专业人员的成功。这些群体具体包括女性、LGBTQ+、黑人、原住民和有色人种（BIPOC）。然而，这些问题也来自于全球南北和东方/西方的分歧，来自南方和东方的科学家在全球海洋保护和科学领域的代表性不足。保护领域持续存在的不公平现象，以及缺乏包容性和多样性，也限制了创新、跨文化知识交流以及有效实施保护和管理政策的机会。作为其增加多样性和促进代表性不足群体的包容性任务的一部分，保护生物学-海洋分会（SCB Marine）的多样性和包容性委员会在第六届国际海洋保护大会（IMCC6）上组织了一个JEDI焦点小组。焦点小组包括IMCC6全球队列的一部分与会者，他们确定了影响JEDI在海洋保护中的问题，并探索了解决这些问题的途径。因此，这里确定的障碍和途径侧重于与参与者的全球区域和经验相关的问题。确定了公正、公平、多样化和包容性的保护科学和实践的几个障碍。例子包括代表性不足的少数民族（URM）在研究网络中的参与有限，对URM的编辑偏见，URM和非英语人士的专业发展和参与机会有限，女性，LGBTQ+和感官受损个体的纳入障碍，以及将URM纳入海洋保护和研究的各个方面的经济障碍。在当前的政策简报中，我们将探讨这些障碍，评估它们如何限制海洋保护研究和实践的进展，并寻求确定改进的举措。我们期望这里讨论的倡议能够在SCB Marine和更广泛的保护社区内推进植根于JEDI原则的实践。本文的建议和观点广泛适用于保护科学和实践，对有效和可持续的保护和管理成果至关重要。
Marine conservation sciences have traditionally been, and remain, non-diverse work environments with many barriers to justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion (JEDI). These barriers disproportionately affect entry of early career scientists and practitioners and limit the success of marine conservation professionals from under-represented, marginalized, and overburdened groups. These groups specifically include women, LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC). However, the issues also arise from the global North/South and East/West divide with under-representation of scientists from the South and East in the global marine conservation and science arena. Persisting inequities in conservation, along with a lack of inclusiveness and diversity, also limit opportunities for innovation, cross-cultural knowledge exchange, and effective implementation of conservation and management policies. As part of its mandate to increase diversity and promote inclusion of underrepresented groups, the Diversity and Inclusion committee of the Society for Conservation Biology-Marine Section (SCB Marine) organized a JEDI focus group at the Sixth International Marine Conservation Congress (IMCC6) which was held virtually. The focus group included a portion of the global cohort of IMCC6 attendees who identified issues affecting JEDI in marine conservation and explored pathways to address those issues. Therefore, the barriers and pathways identified here focus on issues pertinent to participants’ global regions and experiences. Several barriers to just, equitable, diverse, and inclusive conservation science and practice were identified. Examples included limited participation of under-represented minorities (URM) in research networks, editorial biases against URM, limited professional development and engagement opportunities for URM and non-English speakers, barriers to inclusion of women, LGBTQ+, and sensory impaired individuals, and financial barriers to inclusion of URM in all aspects of marine conservation and research. In the current policy brief, we explore these barriers, assess how they limit progress in marine conservation research and practice, and seek to identify initiatives for improvements. We expect the initiatives discussed here to advances practices rooted in principles of JEDI, within SCB Marine and, the broader conservation community. The recommendations and perspectives herein broadly apply to conservation science and practice, and are critical to effective and sustainable conservation and management outcomes.
