TEDxPotomac - Alexandra Cousteau - Connected by Water

 Alexandra Cousteau continues the work of her renowned grandfather Jacques-Yves Cousteau and her father Philippe Cousteau, Sr.

Alexandra is dedicated to advocating the importance of conservation and sustainable management of water in order to preserve a healthy planet. Her global initiatives seek to inspire and empower individuals to protect not only the ocean and its inhabitants, but also the human communities that rely on freshwater resources.

In 2008, she founded Blue Legacy International, a not-for-profit project of The Ocean Foundation. It develops and distributes traditional and new media projects that inspire people to take action on critical water issues in meaningful ways.

#clean water for all

We have a lot to thank the Cousteau family for.
