Description:
Explorer, environmentalist, educator, and film producer, Jean-Michel Cousteau has, for over four decades, used his vast and varied experiences to communicate to people of all nations and generations his love and concern for our water planet. Following in the footsteps of his father, Jacques Cousteau, Jean-Michel continues to produce environmentally oriented programs and television specials, public service announcements, multi-media programs for schools, web-based marine content, books, articles for magazines and newspaper columns, and public lectures, reaching millions of people all over the world. Through his stewardship of the sea, Cousteau emphasizes the interdependence of our lives and the world's oceans. Through the hundreds of presentations he makes worldwide each year, he touches hundreds of thousands of individuals with his very special message. His enthusiasm for the sea is contagious; after hearing his presentation, you will have a greater understanding of and appreciation for the precious blue water that covers our planet, as well as the complex life systems that it supports.
