Raja Ampat’s Award-Winning Resort, Misool and Misool Foundation

Misool Marine Reserve ended 2017 on a justifiable high with being named as a Mission Blue Hope Spot! The co-founders of Misool and Misool Foundation, Marit and Andrew Miners, brought their passion for the ocean to bear and have shown how everyday people can affect real change.

During a surface interval, they inadvertently discovered a recently abandoned shark finning camp. Itinerant camps such as these contribute to the decimation of shark populations (approximately 100 million sharks are slaughtered each year for their fins).

Millions of tourists flock to beautiful Hawaii every year to enjoy the natural beauty of the islands. Many are drawn to the stunning beaches and the superb diving on offer in the North Pacific Ocean. Unbeknown to many, some varieties of sunscreen have been damaging the very life that attracted visitors in the first place.

Recently Sen. Mike Gabbard introduced the bill that would prohibit the sale of over the counter sunscreens containing the chemicals oxybenzone and octinoxate.

“Hawaii is the first state in the nation to pass a measure of this magnitude. The world was watching. We delivered. Preserve and protect our ocean environment!” said state Sen.
