About Fabien Cousteau
- Fabien Cousteau (born 2 October 1967) is an aquanaut, ocean conservationist, and documentary filmmaker.
- As the first grandson of Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Fabien spent his early years aboard his grandfather's ships Calypso and Alcyone; learning how to scuba dive on his fourth birthday.
- From 2000–2002, Fabien was an Explorer-at-Large for National Geographic and collaborated on a TV special aimed at changing public conceptions about sharks called "Attack of the Mystery Shark".
- Then in 2003–2006, he produced the documentary "Mind of a Demon" that aired on CBS.
- With the help of a large crew, Fabien created a 14-foot, 1,200-pound, lifelike shark submarine called "Troy" that enabled him to immerse himself inside the shark world. For the next four years (2006–2010), Fabien was part of a multi-hour series for PBS called "Ocean Adventures" with his father, Jean-Michel Cousteau, and sister, Céline.
- Inspired by his grandfather's 1978 PBS series "Ocean Adventures".
- In early 2009 Fabien began working with local communities and children worldwide to help restore local water ecosystems.
- He continues to presently fulfill these initiatives through Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Center ("OLC") his non-profit 501(c )(3) founded in early 2016 dedicated to the restoration of the world's water bodies through active community engagement and education.
