Mission Blue® is a global catalyst for ocean conservation, working to protect the blue heart of our planet through science, exploration, and storytelling. Founded by legendary oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, Mission Blue brings together a powerful network of scientists, communities, governments, and partners to safeguard critical marine ecosystems known as Hope Spots®—special places that are vital to the health of the ocean.
On this channel, you’ll discover the wonders of the ocean, hear from the people working to protect it, and explore solutions that can turn the tide for marine life and for us all. From deep-sea expeditions to community-led conservation, Mission Blue shares the knowledge, inspiration, and momentum needed to protect the ocean as if our lives depend on it—because they do.
Mission Blue®
Mission Blue’s Founder, Dr. Sylvia Earle, returned to the TED stage in 2026 with a powerful reminder: protecting the ocean is possible, recovery is already underway and everyone has a role to play. In her latest TED Talk, Sylvia reflects on the wish she made at TED in 2009: to ignite public support for a global network of ocean Hope Spots, special places critical to the health of the ocean. Seventeen years later, that vision has grown into Mission Blue: a worldwide movement led by communities, scientists, Indigenous leaders, policymakers and ocean advocates working to safeguard life beneath the waves.
