Author: Mattew Mcclure
Sylvia Earle stad Mission Blue in 2009 and has spent the majority of her career underwater, developing a deep and profound respect for the animals and plants that call the ocean home. With the support of the Rolex Perpetual Planet initiative, Earle and the league of scientists working under the Mission Blue banner are aiming to set our oceans on a course of healing. Their undertaking is to contribute to the global goal of protecting 30% of the oceans by 2030. With the support of Rolex’s Perpetual Planet initiative, the number of Hope Spots in the world’s oceans has ballooned from 50 in 2014 to over 140 today.
