Mission Blue

Mission Blue is a global initiative founded by oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, aimed at creating a network of marine protected areas to safeguard the world's oceans. The campaign raises awareness about the critical state of marine ecosystems, advocating for sustainable practices to conserve biodiversity and restore ocean health. By designating “Hope Spots,” which are vital areas needing protection, Mission Blue seeks to inspire individuals, communities, and governments to take action for a healthier ocean. The initiative highlights the interconnectedness of humans and oceans, emphasizing that protecting marine environments is essential for the well-being of our planet and future generations.
