Mission Blue is a global initiative of the Sylvia Earle Alliance, a 501c3 organization, which was formed in response to a wish Dr. Earle made upon winning the 2009 TED Prize. She implored humanity, “to use all means at your disposal — films, expeditions, the web, new submarines — to create a campaign to ignite public support for a global network of marine protected areas; Hope Spots large enough to save and restore the blue heart of the planet.” Missionblue.org is an ocean community hub that embodies Sylvia’s wish to elevate public awareness about marine threats, and inspire support for impactful organizations, projects and scientific expeditions. Decades of overfishing, pollution and climate change have pushed the ocean to a breaking point—and threatened the very future of humanity.
With over 165 Hope Spots around the world and 200+ partners in the Mission Blue Alliance, Mission Blue’s purpose to defend and explore the ocean is underway. Together, we are committed to inspiring a sea change in awareness and support for marine protected areas spanning ocean depths and sunlit reefs, from the high seas to the coastal mangroves that protect our cities.

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
Covering 71% of the Earth’s surface, the ocean is vast and unforgiving. But in order to uncover the knowledge needed to save our blue planet, we must go where humans have never dared and probe unexplored ocean depths. With this goal, WHOI scientists and engineers explore the earth’s final frontier, hoping to find solutions to our planet’s greatest challenges.
WHOI’s mantra states, “If there is no tool to do what needs to be done, we invent one; if there is no experimental method, we devise it. Because, now more than ever, the ocean matters to us all.” Code Blue is supporting WHOI’s newly created Room 71 Communications, headed up by Chasing Coral star Richard Veevers.
