Despite two decades of affirmative action, Blacks have made little progress in gaining proportional representation in science professions. The percent representation is typically less than two percent. And in the marine, ocean, aquatic, environmental and fisheries sciences, it is much less. Historically Minority Colleges and Universities (HMCUs) have played a key role in providing qualified minority graduates for entry into science careers. A program will be initiated at Savannah State College, and HMCU, to increase the participation of undergraduate minorities in marine sciences by offering student support, instructional opportunities, research exposure and laboratory/field trips to other marine research institutes and laboratories.

尽管采取了二十年的平权行动，黑人在科学专业的比例代表权方面几乎没有取得任何进展。 百分比代表性通常小于百分之二。 而在海洋、海洋、水生、环境和渔业科学领域，则要少得多。 历史上，少数族裔学院和大学 (HMCU) 在提供合格的少数族裔毕业生进入科学职业方面发挥了关键作用。 萨凡纳州立学院和 HMCU 将启动一项计划，通过提供学生支持、教学机会、研究机会以及到其他海洋研究机构和实验室的实验室/实地考察来增加少数族裔本科生对海洋科学的参与。
