JEAN-MICHEL COUSTEAU SUPPORTS THE CALIFORNIA GRAY WHALE COALITION

 "Gray whales face many pressures, such as lack of food, coastal development and increasing ocean noise.  They need better protection." - Jean-Michel Cousteau

The son of ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau. Honoring his heritage, Jean-Michel founded Ocean Futures Society in 1999 to carry on this pioneering work.

As Executive Vice President of The Cousteau Society for nearly 20 years, and now as Founder and President of Ocean Futures Society, Jean-Michel travels the globe, meeting with leaders and policymakers at the grassroots level and at the highest echelons of government and business. He is dedicated to educating young people, documenting stories of change and hope, and lending
his reputation and support to energize alliances for positive change.

Ocean Futures Society, a non-profit marine conservation and education organization, serves as a voice for the ocean by communicating in all media the critical bond between people and the sea and the importance of wise environmental policy. As Ocean Futures¹ leader, Jean-Michel serves as an impassioned diplomat for the environment, reaching out to the public through
a variety of media.

Jean-Michel has produced over 75 films, including a magnificent documentary entitled " The Gray Whale Obstacle Course' in 2007 .
