Ride the Wave Campaign

The Power of a Single Dollar

Dr. Moore never imagined a simple tweet could spark a revolution. As a highly qualified marine scientist, she still felt an outsider in her chosen field.

Years of earning accolades and respect couldn't erase a sense of exclusion within a field she loved.

That's when Dr. Moore created BIMS.. 

That's where YOU come in.

Join the Transformative $1 Ride the Wave Campaign

We believe in the power of collective action. That's why we're asking for just $1 from one million people. Imagine what we can achieve together! Your single dollar is a powerful statement against:

Isolation

Marine scientists shouldn't have to navigate this field alone.

Stagnation

Empty promises with no real change for scientists.

Apathy

Believing your voice and actions don't have value.
