Keynote Speaker: Philippe Cousteau

Philippe Cousteau was our keynote speaker.  He is the grandson of Jacques-Yves Cousteau.  He is continuing the work of his father and grandfather.  He is the Cheif Ocean Correspondent for Animal Planet, where he works on various ocean and water-focused documentary programs, including "Ocean's Deadliest," which he completed after his co-host Steve Irwin was fatally wounded during their expedition.  He hosted Oceans, a HD Discovery Channel/BBC co-production.  He also hosted and narrated his own one hour special on Discovery called Living Loch Ness.  He has a master's degree in history from the University of St. Andrews.

He made a big point of saying that he doesn't believe:  you can make a different.  He believes every choice you make (no matter how small or large) - makes a difference.
