BLOC is a black-, brown-, people of colour-led non-profit organisation aimed at amplifying the voices of minoritised communities of marine, coastal and fisheries sciences and positively challenge systemic inequality in ocean sciences and governance in the U.K. and British Overseas Territories.

Founder Gurpreet Padda's guiding principles are based on lived and applied experiences stemming from being at the front line of government marine and fisheries programmes at the Centre for Environment, Food & Aquaculture Science (Cefas), Marine & Fisheries Agency (MFA), Department of Environment Food and Rural Affairs Common Fisheries Policy (Defra), Marine Management Organisation (MMO) Inshore Quota Management and latterly Evidence & Evaluation, and private sector consultancy.
