Jean-Michel Cousteau is a famed French explorer and environmentalist, and the founder of the Ocean Futures Society. Like his father Jacques before him, Jean-Michel has dedicated his life to educating the world about our wonderful “water planet” and inspiring action for its protection.
Jean-Michel has produced more than 80 films, which have earned him Emmy, Peabody and CableACE awards. His 2006 documentary Voyage to Kure is credited with inspiring President George W. Bush to establish the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument in Hawaii.
Participation opportunities for this prestigious gala are now available here. If you are interested in supporting this year’s event,
