Happy Earth Day from The Cousteau Society This week, we looked back at the curiosity that sparked Jacques Cousteau’s journey and the awareness that turned exploration into advocacy. Today, we look forward. The threats to our Water Planet are real. But so is the power of collective action. Whether you joined us this week, took a moment to reflect, or made a choice to live more consciously, we’re grateful you’re here. Conservation isn’t a single day. It’s the decisions we make, the conversations we start, and the communities we build. Let’s carry this momentum forward. Let’s protect what we love. 🌎 #EarthDay #jacquescousteau #cousteau #thecousteausociety #knowloveprotect #jacquesyvescousteau #conservation (fb)

“I have produced for television 52 one-hour films. The start was curiosity. The enthusiasm about beauty. Then came the period of alert, because we were looking at things that were actually disappearing. And so my past life, as just a mere explorer, is over.” - Jacques Cousteau 🐟 🐟 🐟 Curiosity may have started the journey, but awareness changed everything. As Captain Cousteau continued exploring the ocean, he saw the damage firsthand: polluted waters, collapsing reefs, and disappearing species. The places he once admired were under threat. That realization turned an explorer into an advocate. Cousteau left us with more than warnings. He showed us that with awareness comes responsibility, and with collective action, there is hope. Tomorrow, on Earth Day, we remain committed to the mission he began: To know. To love. To protect. #jacquescousteau #cousteau #thecousteausociety #EarthDay #jacquesyvescousteau #knowloveprotect #scubadiving #ProtectOurPlanet (fb)
