Abstract
It is no secret that African-American men in the United States face an array of challenges in the workplace, especially in fisheries. According to recent reports, African-Americans are significantly underrepresented in fisheries. This lack of representation is concerning, particularly when considering the potential benefits that African-American men could bring to fisheries. Promoting diversity and inclusion in the sciences is important for a number of reasons. In order to address this issue, it is essential to develop more applied learning, internships, and experiential learning approaches for African-American men in fisheries careers. This paper will outline the potential value of such approaches for African-American men in fisheries careers.
