Global Action:

Understanding that "We can't protect what we don’t yet understand" Jean-Michel Cousteau has dedicated Ocean Futures Society to advancing his family’s legacy for a world increasingly in need of information and inspiration.

Committed to exploring the connection between our actions and the health of the ocean, Ocean Futures Society recognizes these priorities:

1. • Clean Water, the essence of life and a birthright for everyone, must become available to all people now.
   

2. • Coastal Marine Habitats, coral reefs, estuaries and wetlands, must receive protection in order to   assure the ocean’s quality of life and thus our own.
   

3. • Marine Mammals, our biological counterparts in the sea, must be protected from human impact.
   

4. • Sustainable Fisheries must be created to reflect our ability to manage natural resources wisely.

Mission Statement:

The mission of Ocean Futures Society is to explore our global ocean, inspiring and educating people throughout the world to act responsibly for its 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.

"Protect the ocean and you protect yourself"
