Catalyzing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to Support Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration

Type: Request for Proposal (RFP)

The Pew Charitable Trusts, in cooperation with The Nature Conservancy, is co-leading the Supporting Oyster Aquaculture and Restoration (SOAR) program.

In response, Pew is seeking proposals for projects that address those needs through workforce development and education to increase exposure to restorative aquaculture; invest in resources for underrecognized, underrepresented, and underserved communities, and Indigenous communities; and develop collaborative opportunities to cultivate and retain a more diverse workforce.
