You know you’ve got to incorporate EDIA best practices into your ocean project, but it’s hard to know where to start. 

Effectively solving big ocean challenges - like tackling the climate crisis and creating a productive and sustainable Blue Economy - requires open-mindedness, fresh perspectives and collaboration. But incorporating Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA) best practices into your ocean project can be both daunting and time-consuming. 

You need a clear and efficient plan to help you access a diverse and innovative workforce.
