The mission of the Hoover Environmental Foundation is to undertake and support campaigns necessary for advancing public understanding of and solutions for water conservation issues.
Save The Blue is the Foundation's call to Action.
Marine and aquatic habitats, that we and other organisms depend on for life, are severely degraded, polluted and over-fished worldwide, so please help support our campaign to Save The Blue.

Current Campaign - Shark Conservation
Over 100 million sharks are slaughtered annually, at a rate of over 270, 000 per day – all for a bowl of soup. Shark fin soup is a delicacy in some Asian cultures. The soup can fetch up to several hundred U.S. dollars per bowl. Some fins can fetch thousands of dollars depending on the rarity of the shark species as well as fin age and type. Serving shark fin soup is a sign of wealth, like caviar, and a tradition in many Asian countries. As a result, shark populations worldwide are drastically declining.
Current tax deductible donations to Save The Blue will help support shark research aimed at preventing the slaughter of sharks. More information about this campaign.
