MISSION BLUE 

Dr. Sylvia Earle, also known as “Her Deepness,” is a trailblazer for the world’s oceans. Her research continues to create a global network of marine protected areas she calls “hope spots.” This living legend has spent more than 7,000 hours underwater, led an all-female research expedition in 1970 that led to a White House reception, and still holds the record for the deepest untethered walk on the sea floor.
