Womxn in ocean science

Supporting a new generation of black oceanographers.

Ocean Womxn is a prestigious research and leadership programme at the University of Cape Town (UCT) Department of Oceanography.

We provide black womxn students with financial support, research opportunities and career development in the field of ocean sciences.

Our cohorts are the talented womxn who will transform our department and lead the future of oceanography.

We work to transform UCT's Department of Oceanography to represent more talented black womxn.

We provide financial support and resources for black womxn to make a career in ocean science.

Ocean science is the study of the global marine environment. It touches on climate change, sustainable food production and renewable energy.
