Liz Taylor, CEO of DOER Marine, reminds us: there are plenty of reasons to feel hopeless about the ocean—but also 8 billion reasons for hope. Each of us can make better choices, take part in local restoration, and care for the ocean like our lives depend on it. Because they do. #OceanHoptimism

Mission Blue Hope Spots are special ocean places—rich, fragile, and vital—championed by local communities and global science as areas where protection can spark recovery. From kelp forests to deep-sea canyons, there are now 167 Hope Spots lighting up the blue planet.

Last night’s #OceanHoptimism was so much fun. Liz Taylor kicked us off by celebrating our own SF Bay Hope Spot—highlighting seagrass restoration gains and the Wild Oyster Project’s gritty, local magic. Proof that recovery is already happening right here in our backyard. Come be a part of it!

Rainy week in the Bay? We’ve got the fix. 🌧️
On this Thursday, Nov 20, come stay dry, warm, and Hoptimistic with us—ocean hope, craft beer, and community vibes at Faction Brewing. Plus: bring a can or two for our Thanksgiving food drive. Let’s lift each other up.
