Mission Blue: Sylvia Earle's Ocean Saving Crusade

The ocean is Sylvia Earle’s second home. The former NOAA chief scientist has observed alarming changes within the ocean over many years and believes if we do not create protected areas and stop overfishing, we could “remove every last tuna or whale” from the earth. Though she misses the ocean as it was 50 years ago, Sylvia believes we can help save the oceans and make them better. Through a project called Mission Blue, she shares the crisis facing the ocean, as well as the success stories of species and habitats brought back from the brink in protected areas called Hope Spots around the world.
