Be A voice for the ocean
Advocacy is at the heart of the Cousteau Society’s mission. From protecting fragile marine ecosystems to inspiring policy change, Jacques-Yves Cousteau believed in using knowledge, storytelling, and passion to create a better future for the Water Planet.
You Can Continue the Legacy
Anyone can be an advocate. Advocacy can be as simple as:
- Starting conversations about ocean health in your community
- Supporting local and national policies that protect marine environments
- Engaging on social media to raise awareness and share credible information
- Encouraging schools to include ocean literacy in their curriculum
- Contacting representatives to speak up for science-based environmental protections
Every action you take helps create a more sustainable world.
Your Voice Matters
The ocean impacts every part of life on Earth—from the air we breathe to the food we eat. By standing up for clean water, climate resilience, and biodiversity, you’re helping protect our shared future. Whether you live near a coastline or thousands of miles from the sea, you can make a difference in the health of our Water Planet.
Keep the Spirit of Captain Cousteau Alive
Captain Cousteau believed that people protect what they love. Advocacy is a way of showing that love—by using your voice, your vote, and your energy to defend the wonders of our Water Planet.
Speak out. Stay curious. Stay involved. The future of the ocean depends on all of us.
