Sylvia Earle

Sylvia Earle is an American marine biologist, oceanographer, and explorer known for researching marine ecosystems and advocating ocean conservation.

Jacques Cousteau: Jacques Cousteau was a French oceanographer, filmmaker, and undersea explorer who popularized marine science. Like Earle, he brought ocean exploration to public audiences through research and media.
Tektite II: Tektite II was a 1970 underwater research program in which aquanauts lived in an undersea habitat. Earle led the all-female aquanaut team during its most publicized mission.
Mission Blue: Mission Blue is a nonprofit organization founded by Sylvia Earle to advance ocean conservation. It is Earle’s main platform for building public support for marine protection.
Ocean conservation: Ocean conservation is the protection and restoration of marine species, habitats, and ecological processes. Earle’s public work has made this broad goal central to her career.
Eugenie Clark: Eugenie Clark was an American ichthyologist known for research on sharks and other fishes. Clark’s shark research represents an earlier generation of women who reshaped marine biology.
Mission 31: Mission 31 was a 2014 undersea expedition in which Fabien Cousteau and his team lived in Aquarius Reef Base for 31 days. Earle’s later exploration helped frame the mission’s case for sustained human presence underwater.
Hope Spot: A Hope Spot is a marine area identified by Mission Blue as deserving protection or enhanced conservation. Earle’s campaign uses these proposed sites to focus attention on threatened marine ecosystems.
Women in science: Women in science are women who conduct, lead, or shape scientific research and institutions. Earle’s expeditions and leadership made women’s participation in ocean science more visible.
Robert Ballard: Robert Ballard is an American oceanographer known for deep-sea exploration and locating shipwrecks. Ballard and Earle both advanced human exploration of the deep ocean.
Aquarius Reef Base: Aquarius Reef Base is an underwater research habitat located off the Florida Keys. Earle has used the habitat as a platform for studying marine life and ocean conditions.
