About Alexandra Cousteau

Alexandra has started the OCEANS 2050 initiative which is a global program of ocean afforestation – restoring lost coastal habitats by designing, seeding and managing marine forests that provide habitat for marine life, reverse acidification and hypoxia, enhance coastal climate resilience and sequester CO2.

This restoration mission in turn supports tourism and fishing jobs, helps mitigate climate change, creates wealth and meaningful jobs and provides food security for the planet’s growing population.
