Calling all Early Career Ocean Professionals in Canada!
It’s year two of the UN Ocean Decade. The next nine years will provide lasting changes and effects beyond 2030 in the way we interact with the ocean.
That’s why ECOP Canada needs a few minutes of your time. Early career ocean professionals (ECOPs) and the next generation are the ones who will see the Ocean Decade through to 2030. Your voice is vital in inspiring communities to connect to and care for the ocean.
Your feedback will help ECOP Canada better understand and meet the international and national needs of early career ocean professionals during the UN Ocean Decade.
Data will also be anonymized, analyzed, and shared with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) to help with the development of the Global ECOP programme (your identifying information will not be shared).
Please take a few minutes to fill out this survey to share your thoughts.
About
Early Career Ocean Professionals (ECOP) is an international organization that emerged out of the UN Ocean Decade to elevate and strengthen the diverse perspectives of new generations of ocean professionals through a collective voice.
The Canada Node is currently developing a network of partner institutions to ensure that the voices and perspectives of a new generation of Canadian ocean professions are heard and that the vast potential of early-career professions is fully maximized and supported.
What is an ECOP?
An ECOP is a person that self-identifies as being early in their career (10 years or less of professional experience) within any field related to the ocean (not only employed/paid positions). The term “professional” is used in order to be inclusive of professionals from many different sectors of society.
