<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">In March 2021, California State University Desert Studies and the Consortium for Ocean Leadership held the Workshop to Promote Safety in Field Sciences. This workshop focused on addressing the special problems
of remote research settings in harassment prevention, target support, and incident response. About 70 participants representing field practitioners from across the natural sciences and social scientists with expertise in the causes and impacts of gender-based
harassment attended this three-day virtual meeting. <u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">The workshop resulted in 52 recommendations targeted at improving field science culture change, as well as misconduct accountability, policy, and reporting. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) and
trainings were additional cross-cutting topics. The recommendations focus on improving experiences for field participants of all backgrounds and identities<i>.<span class="m_6478419775294987282apple-converted-space"> </span></i>They represent a starting point to inspire and guide
scientists, ocean platforms, field stations, academic institutions, professional societies, funding agencies, and other actors in field science in improving the science environment in a collaborative, community-based way. The workshop report of recommendations
