摘要：	In this issue you can read about efforts of Open Waters, a Louisiana initiative launched this year by the Crescent River Port Pilots' Association and New Orleans-Baton Rouge Steamship Pilots Association to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the maritime industry. So far Open Waters has connected with more than 1,000 Louisiana students through educational roadshows, stakeholder partnerships and internships. At the recently concluded Inland Marine Expo, one panel featured industry leaders speaking of the challenges the inland industry sometimes has recruiting team members. "The challenges we're dealing with are going to get worse, not better," one panelist proclaimed. Yet the same conference showcased the ability of our industry to attract talented, bright, hardworking young people from a variety of backgrounds-and to give them the room, mentorship and support to achieve great things at a young age. The inland industry is becoming more diverse, as more women and members of communities not traditionally exposed to careers in mari- time and the inland waterways become aware of the opportunities. Traditional pipelines into the industry, like the Coast Guard and Corps of Engineers, are themselves becoming more diverse.
