Leadership Hubs
Ocean Leadership Hubs are groups of Ocean Leaders organized by university affiliation, region, or focus area and taking action to promote ocean health and sustainability.
They are united by the common objective to preserve the health of our ocean and provide grassroots leadership in their respective communities.
SOA supports our Hubs through providing programming, mentorship, funding, organizing platforms, and networking.
