Pokémon GO and Mission Blue are joining forces to save the oceans!

For $1,000, we can can execute one day of shark population surveys. This includes, boat, fuel personnel and supplies! [ACHIEVED!] For $2,000, we can tag one sea turtle, covering the cost of one transmitter and attachment materials. For $3,000, we can facilitate three months of nearshore single reef site, baseline monitoring. If we hit $6,000, then we can do all of the above!

Niantic, Inc. and Playmob are teaming up to host the first ever Pokémon GO Earth Day Clean Up on April 22. The Pokémon GO Earth Day Clean Up initiative is a series of events that will take place across locations around the world, inviting the Pokémon GO community to join together to clean up the environment and their local areas. Trainers will also have an opportunity to donate to the Mission Blue Foundation, a global coalition united to inspire public awareness, access and support for a worldwide network of marine protected areas.
