Sea Women Expeditions Details
Sea Women Expeditions is a volunteer-based, international team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women ocean explorers, scientists, filmmakers, photographers, scuba divers, artists, historians, lawyers, cultural advisors, and educators. We explore the Arctic's history, culture, geography, resources, life, climate, and challenges facing Indigenous and Northern peoples in a warming Arctic.Ten years have passed since we started exploring the Arctic. And, we're still exploring.During the past decade, we've run four ocean research and dive & snorkel expeditions to the Arctic—Canada (Nunavut and Nunatsiavut), Greenland, Iceland, and Norway. More than 80 women and girls, ages 16 to 78 years, have participated in these circumpolar ocean research and dive & snorkel expeditions. In consultation with Indigenous team members and advisors, we've brought the ocean to eye level—via mobile touch aquariums that temporarily house sea critters, underwater robot-building workshops, snorkel safaris, and scuba diving certifications—for more than 1,000 Inuit youths, girls, and elders living in remote communities in Nunatsiavut, Nunavut, and Greenland. MISSIONOur mission is to scout, record, and document disappearing sea ice in the Arctic. We provide opportunities for Indigenous and non-Indigenous women to gain leadership skills and field experience in the Arts & Sciences, and Exploration. Together, these women are creating planet-wide ripple effects.VISIONOur vision is to foster a circumpolar network of Indigenous and non-Indigenous women leaders who will help shape the future of the Arctic and our planet. We envision equity for women, and their inclusion in the development of circumpolar policies on economic prosperity, science and technology, human rights, gender, food security, and strategies to mitigate the impacts of societal change and climate change in a warming Arctic.
