Featuring

Philippe Cousteau
Co-Founder, EarthEcho International

Philippe Cousteau is the son of Jan and Philippe Cousteau Sr., and the grandson of Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau. As a member of the legendary family, Philippe is continuing the work of his father and grandfather by using media, experiences, and storytelling to empower people to use the resources that can restore and protect the ocean and freshwater systems that sustain life on Earth. He founded EarthEcho International with his sister and his mother to work towards these goals, and serves as the organization’s CEO.

Philippe's travels have taken him diving, rock climbing, trekking, and snowboarding around the world. From expeditions in the highlands of New Guinea to war-torn Sarajevo, where he provided humanitarian aid, he has learned that exploring the connections between humans and the environment are as important as exploring nature itself.
