Mission Blue is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt global organization dedicated to exploring and caring for the ocean, our planet's blue heart. Led by renowned ocean explorer, Dr. Sylvia Earle, we are committed to inspiring a sea change in public awareness, access and support for a global network of Marine Protected Areas - hope spots - stretching from the deepest ocean canyons to the tallest underwater mountain peaks and from the most remote tropical reefs to the most lush coastal seagrass meadows.
