The eldest grandson of famed ocean explorer Jacques Cousteau will be speaking at Thompson Rivers University as part of the President’s Lecture Series.
Fabien Cousteau, also a social activist and documentary filmmaker, will present “One Ocean and One People” to an audience in the Grand Hall on March 6.
Cousteau has been an explorer-at-large for National Geographic, appeared in or produced a number of documentaries including Shark: Mind of a Demon, Attack of the Mystery Shark and the PBS series Ocean Adventures, and he helped develop a 14-foot submarine shaped like a great white shark meant to observe sharks covertly.
Cousteau was also featured in his TED Talk, “What I learned form spending 31 days underwater.”
The event starts at 7 p.m. with free admission, no tickets required.
