Under the leadership of Dr. Sylvia Earle, the Mission Blue team has embarked on a series of expeditions to explore and shed light on areas they call “Hope Spots” – special places that are critical to the health of the ocean. The team implements communications campaigns that elevate Hope Spots to the world stage through documentaries, social media, traditional media, and innovative tools like Google Earth.

Hope Spots are located throughout the world
