Big Blue & You

Big Blue & You is the first ocean conservation nonprofit to be founded and run by African American women and is a passionate proponent of intersectional environmentalism and decolonizing the natural world. For the past 15 years, the organization has supported emerging conservationists — especially young women of color — with STEAM resources to help them become ocean advocates. We believe that equitable access to outdoor spaces is critical to engaging BIPOC communities and that people must experience what they are asked to protect.
