IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Expeditions Exploration is at the core of all Mission Blue Hope Spot expeditions. By conducting expeditions to Hope Spots--special places that are vital to the health of the ocean--and documenting what we find, these short-duration trips create global awareness, foster meaningful partnerships, and build community support for marine conservation. During the past nine years, our expeditions have taken us to more than a dozen Hope Spots locations, including trips to Cuba, Spain, Mexico, and Costa Rica. We have worked with local partners, stakeholders, and government representatives to help build awareness for MPAs and critical conservation issues such as the overfishing of sharks.

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, Mission Blue 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 has been established to maintain oversight for the development of criteria and methodology for Hope Spots and oversees approved processes and criteria for global nominations.
