Following
in the great legacy of his father, Jacques Cousteau, Jean-Michel has been deemed
"a voice for the ocean" who communicates to a new generation. His
advocacy on the part of the world's oceans has earned him countless
prominent awards and recognitions, such as the Environmental Hero
Award, the SeaKeepers Award, and the 2008 IPPY Gold Medal Award for
best book in ecology. Cousteau’s presentation "The Great Ocean
Adventure," on October 23 from 7-8:30 p.m. in Warden Arena, promises to be a memorable Rollins event.

Earlier in the day Cousteau will take part in the Winter Park Institute symposium, “The 21st Century: Opportunities and Challenges in the New Millennium.” He will join Thane Maynard (‘76BA) and John Cronin for “The Natural World” panel.
