Ocean Futures Society Program
Founded in 1999 by Jean-Michel Cousteau, environmental advocate and son of the legendary Jacques Cousteau, the mission of the Ocean Futures Society is to explore our global oceans, inspiring and educating people throughout the world to act responsibly for their protection, documenting the critical connection between humanity and nature, and celebrating the ocean’s vital importance to the survival of all life on our planet.
Special Guest
Jean-Michel Cousteau
For over 60 years, Jean-Michel Cousteau, his father, and family have been part of the greatest exploration of the ocean in all of history. Mr. Cousteau will join us on
the January 15 and November 19, 2011 departures sailing to Marquesas, Tuamotus
& Society Islands. As our special guest, he will offer a series of lectures with videos of his work in the world’s oceans, as well as accompany several dives from the ship.
Ambassadors of the Environment Youth Program
Created by explorer and environmentalist Jean-Michel Cousteau and his Ocean Futures Society, Ambassadors of the Environment is a unique, groundbreaking program that introduces young travelers to the extraordinary natural wonders of French Polynesia. The program aims to give young participants (aged 9 to 17) direct, hands-on, interactive experience with knowledge of marine and island ecosystems. Young Ambassadors will explore coral reefs, hike rainforest trails, and visit marae (ancient Polynesian temples). They’ll learn how black pearls and vanilla are cultivated, how volcanic islands become coral atolls, and how to paddle an outrigger canoe. Parents are encouraged to join children on eco- excursions and other activities aboard and ashore.
This program is available on all departures from June 4th through August 20th, as well as holiday sailings on December 21st and 28th, 2011, for a nominal fee of $289 per child.
