The initiative has already managed to get 2.5 million square miles of coastline and ocean set aside in 26 marine-protected areas where fishing, dumping, mining, and other destructive activities are prohibited. On May 24, Pristine Seas’ scientific-research ship, the E/V Argo, lifted anchor for its most ambitious undertaking yet: a five-year expedition in the remote tropical Pacific, where Sala plans to document the complex links between marine ecosystems and the lives they support on land in order to build a case for their conservation.
