This webinar is a part of a Fundraising Campain to support Women in Caribbean Aquaculture.
Caribbean women scientists need sponsorship to enhance their contributions to scientific research and innovation. Historically, these women have faced significant barriers, including limited access to funding, resources, and networking opportunities. Sponsorship can help bridge these gaps by providing essential financial support, enabling access to advanced research facilities, and fostering collaborations with global experts. This support is crucial for empowering Caribbean women scientists to lead groundbreaking research, drive regional development, and contribute diverse perspectives to the global scientific community. By investing in their potential, sponsors can help ensure a more inclusive and innovative future for science. Any amoutn will be appreciated
