Recent news about Raja Ampat, Indonesia and the Galapagos Islands brought back memories of important ocean stewardship expeditions to these amazing seascapes 10 years ago.
Mongabay wrote a piece about newly published scientific evidence that confirms the Wayag Lagoon in the Raja Ampat archipelago is a globally rare nursery for juvenile manta rays. Princeton University recently published an article about a long believed extinct giant tortoise species that was found alive.
Our expeditions, including a Mission Blue TED Prize journey to Galapagos, helped launch a new era in global ocean stewardship including a pioneering high seas initiative that I led for more than 2 million square miles in the Sargasso Sea.
