Meet Dr. Sylvia Earle A Life Dedicated to Protecting the Blue Planet

For over 50 years, Dr. Sylvia Earle has explored the depths of the ocean and fought to protect its fragile ecosystems. As a legendary marine biologist and founder of Mission Blue, her voice has helped governments, industries, and communities understand why the health of the ocean determines the health of all life on Earth. Her message is unwavering: no ocean, no us.

We live on a blue planet. It’s time we treated it that way.
