I am very pleased to invite everyone (and anyone!) to attend a lecture presented by Marine Explorer, Activist, Educator and Filmmaker Jean-Michel Cousteau on Monday, October 19 at 8:00 p.m. in Schwab Auditorium.
Environmental speaker Jean-Michel Cousteau continues the legacy of his father, the legendary ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau, as a world-renowned explorer, environmentalist, educator, oceanographer, and filmmaker. Cousteau founded the Ocean Futures Society, a marine conservation and education organization that serves as a “Voice for the Ocean.” The Society teaches conservation ethics, conducts research, and helps to develop marine education programs.
A prolific filmmaker, Jean-Michel Cousteau has also produced over 70 films, and his work has yielded him an Emmy award, the Peabody award, the 7 d’Or – the French equivalent of the Emmy, and the Cable ACE Award. His first book, Jean-Michel Cousteau’s America’s Underwater Treasures, has also received several awards in independent publishing. Recognized as a voice for the ocean who communicates to a new generation, he continues his quest to “carry forward the flame of his faith” and to educate listeners worldwide on the importance of the oceans and preserving underwater ecosystems.
No tickets are required. The lecture is free and open to the public.
