LOVE Sylvia Earle! Pretty soon I’ll throw up a post dedicated to the history of all things Sylvia or something along those lines. Amazing adventurer with a heart bigger than our planet. Until then, please read below to see how she’s inspired about 2 dozen key individuals (including Jean-Michel Cousteau, John Delaney, Fred Grassle, Jeremy Jackson, Damien Rice, Roz Savage and many others who are dedicated to various areas of ocean conservation to come together and help make Earle’s wish a reality.
The Ted Oceans’ Mission Blue conference in the Galapagos is under full swing, and there are some big concepts being discussed among the attendees and speakers. The mission of the conference is to try to further Sylvia Earl’s TED wish of expanding our marine protected areas. But that requires all eyes on the oceans, and when we focus our attention, we find that there are three main issues: ownership, exploration, and protection. Overall, it seems to be a fair amount of bad news with some glimmers of hope.
