IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Expeditions Exploration is at the core of all Mission Blue Hope Spot expeditions. Since 2010, we have led 30 expeditions to explore and document Hope Spots around the world. By conducting expeditions to Hope Spots, we generate global awareness, foster meaningful partnerships, and build community support for marine conservation. We work with local partners, stakeholders, and government representatives to build awareness --and action-- around the value of Marine Protected Areas and the urgent need for ocean protection.
