Dr Earle will be our special guest on the exploration of this incredibly biodiverse region on board our new small expedition ship, the Sylvia Earle, named to honour Dr. Earle's incredible long-standing ocean conservation efforts. Dr. Earle has a deep personal connection to the Sea of Cortez, as it was nominated as the first 'Hope Spot' by Mission Blue - her own conservation alliance - which has created a global network of 136 marine protected areas to date. Aurora Expeditions, the new Sylvia Earle ship and expeditioners will support Mission Blue's efforts with wildlife mapping, location photography and video and supporting marine research through 'Citizen Science'. “By travelling with Aurora Expeditions on the Sylvia Earle, I feel it is an incredible opportunity for people to learn about these extraordinary marine habitats in situ, and as a result, become ambassadors for protecting them.” - Dr. Sylvia Earle Enjoy fascinating once-in-a-lifetime talks from Dr. Sylvia Earle - the first female chief scientist of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and United Nations Global 500 Laureate.
