Protection works.

So, with the Tetiro Society, the Baileys are engaging tourists and scientists, kids and CEOs in a business plan that couples tourism, revenue that is generated...

With exploration, research and conservation, it's a blue-green, nature-positive model that generates income and jobs in a healthy ocean.

A new class of submersibles is being built that will take scientists, visitors and curious kids

into French Polynesia's twilight zone to explore a part of a vital global system of animals that migrate up and down in the water column every day, every night.

Mission Blue is partnering with the Polynesian Voyagers

with Nainoa Thompson and those who travel across the Pacific in traditional voyaging canoes, like the Hokulea, following ancient pathways depicted on traditional maps, like an octopus.

the head of the octopuses in French Polynesia, but the arms extend to islands across the Pacific, to hope spots that have been established in recent years.

A three-year expedition is currently, right now, underway to connect people across the Pacific with ancient values of ocean care and respect.

where the subs, for the first time, they can go see who lives under the canoe.

This is, after all, below where sunlight shines, where it's cold, it's dark, it's high pressure, but it's where most of life on Earth actually exists.

The merger of new technology and ancient wisdom

My wish was inspired by the keen desire to build a safety net of hope spots large enough to really understand and protect the ocean that protects all of us.

At the time, 99% of the ocean was open for exploitation.

Today, 97% is still open for exploitation.

It's time to seriously scale up.

HopeSpots are helping.

Tanzil.ai is visualizing HopeSpots with global data on temperature, chemistry, fishing pressure, whale migration rates,

land-based information to better understand the problems in the context of the whole world.

Now we know.
