IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Expeditions A cornerstone of Mission Blue, the expeditions program is designed to create awareness, foster partnerships, and build public and governmental support for the protection of Hope Spots. In 2015, SEA expeditions included Cocos Island, where we urged Costa Rican officials to ban hammerhead shark fin exports, the Gulf of California where we rallied support for marine conservation leaders locally, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands aboard the Mission Blue II Expedition to ignite support for protection of the Coral Triangle Hope Spot, and to Spains Balearic Islands to establish the first Mission Blue Hope Spot in the Mediterranean.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Hope Spot Global Framework With more than 300 official Hope Spot nominations submitted through our website to date and a partnership with IUCN, SEA is in the process of standardizing Hope Spot designations and creating an online management system that will guide communities and partners through the process of managing these potential marine protected areas. A Hope Spot Advisory Council is currently being established to maintain oversight for the development of criteria and methodology for Hope Spots and oversee approved process and criteria for global nominations.
