We're thrilled to announce Jean-Michel Cousteau as our keynote speaker!

For over six decades, Jean-Michel Cousteau’s life-time mission continues inspiring people of all nations and generations to act responsibly to protect the ocean our planet’s water ecosystems. His 78 years of diving, exploration, and discovery began a generation ago with his father, Jacques Yves Cousteau aboard Calypso and Alcyone. In 1999 after his father’s death he founded Ocean Futures Society (OFS) as a “Voice for the Ocean." Like father like son, Jean-Michel is a dedicated advocate for the protection of our water planet. As a voice for the ocean, he inspires and educates audiences worldwide about the need to act responsibly and preserve the fragile underwater ecosystems that are so intricately tied to all life on earth.

The Milestone

Over the past 30 years, we have focused our science-based, community-led initiatives on the coral reefs of the Western Caribbean, Hawaiian Islands, South Pacific, and the Coral Triangle in Southeast Asia. Despite unrelenting environmental and human consequences to the vitality of coral reefs, we continue to have hope for a healthy future of reefs. In October, we're gathering with our most dedicated supporters and friends to raise money to continue our important mission.
