Follow Sylvia Earle’s Mission Blue Conference in Galapagos
The Huffington Post has announced a new series called Our Oceans. They will “be bringing you in-depth coverage of all matters of challenges and threats facing oceans. Climate change is a core issue that the Green page focuses on, but many marine experts argue that the health of the seas is just as critical to the fate of our planet as the rising temperatures caused by climate change.”
Huffington Post’s Green Editor, Katherine Goldstein, writes:
“In addition to creating our own content and inviting our esteemed bloggers to write on the subject, I’ll also be bringing you exclusive online media coverage of Mission Blue, TED Prize Winner Sylvia Earle’s wish for the oceans.
Part of her prize is that she’s granted any wish - hers is to bring activists, scientists, experts and thought-leaders together to educate them and the larger public about the challenges facing our oceans. Her 5-day conference in the Galapagos islands has the goals of raising awareness and rallying political will to create a worldwide system of marine protected areas.
HuffPost Green readers can expect photo and video coverage of both the conference and the nature expeditions, Q and A’s, and blogs from participants.
