Happy Birthday, Jean-Michel!
Let's Celebrate!
In 1999 Jean-Michel Cousteau and Ocean Futures Society was asked to join forces and pioneer in the first ever attempt to rehabilitate a captive Orca, Keiko, the star of the “Free Willy” film, and return him to the wild, his ocean home. Learning first-hand and documenting all of Keiko’s challenges and accomplishments for his final freedom, we attempted something that had never been done before, reintroducing a captive orca into the wild. In 2002, Keiko returned to the wild. December 2003 Keiko died from a pneumonia-like virus along the coast of Norway.
Join the Ocean Futures Society Team in celebrating Jean-Michel's birthday and 79 Years of Diving! We invite you to include a special birthday greeting for Jean-Michel below. He is our true ocean hero who has dedicated his life inspiring and educating the public finding sustainable solutions for ocean protection. Your very special and personal birthday wishes for Jean-Michel will be appreciated by him and his entire Ocean Futures Society team.
Jean-Michel’s birthday also marks his 79 Years of SCUBA Diving. He was 7 when his mother put on his fins and his father strapped on his newly invented SCUBA gear on his back. Jean-Michel has continued exploring our water planet ever since, sharing his passion and love for the oceans.
