Philippe-Pierre Jacques-Yves Arnault Cousteau Jr. is the son of Philippe Cousteau and the grandson of Jacques-Yves Cousteau.[1] Cousteau has continued the work of his father and grandfather by educating the public about environmental and conservation issues.
Early life
He was born in Santa Monica, California in 1980 to Jan Cousteau, the widow of Philippe Cousteau who died six months before the birth; he is the grandson of Jacques-Yves Cousteau.[2] Philippe grew up in France and the United States. He graduated from St. Andrews University in Scotland where he earned an M.A. in History.[3]
Career
In 2000, he co-founded EarthEcho International with his mother Jan Cousteau and his sister Alexandra Cousteau. EarthEcho International is based in Washington, D.C., and its mission is to "empower youth to take action that protects and restores our water planet."[4][5]
In 2007, he co-founded Azure Worldwide, an environmental consulting, development, marketing and media company[4][6] which was the successor to his earlier for-profit venture, Thalassa Ventures Corporation.[3]
From 2008-2011, Philippe served as Chief Ocean Correspondent for Animal Planet. He has co-hosted a series called Oceans on BBC Two, and has served a correspondent on CNN and for the public radio show, Living on Earth.[1][7][8]
In 2010, he spent a great deal of time covering the BP Oil Spill with ABC’s Good Morning America and Sam Champion and later CNN. Philippe was the first person to scuba dive on television into the spill.[9]
In May 2012, Cousteau and AdvisorShares launched an exchange-traded fund (ETF) called the AdvisorShares Global Echo ETF on the New York Stock Exchange focused on sustainable investing; the fund also said it would donate a portion of the fund management fees to Global Echo Foundation, a nonprofit co-founded by Cousteau, focused on social issues impacting women and children to environmental conservation, as well as supporting social entrepreneurship.[1][10]
From 2010 through 2014 Philippe was a Special Correspondent for CNN International and the host of Going Green, a series that explored critical conservation issues around the world. In addition, Philippe hosted Expedition Sumatra for CNN in 2013, an 8-part series exploring the deforestation crisis in Sumatra, Indonesia.[11]
Since 2014, Philippe has been the host and executive producer of Awesome Planet,[12] a television series syndicated on Fox and Hulu, for which he was nominated for a daytime Emmy Award as best host.[13]
He has lectured at the UN, Harvard University and other institutions on environmental issues, and has served on the Board of Directors of the Ocean Conservancy, National Environmental Education Foundation and the Marine Conservation Biology Institute.[7]

Cousteau's latest book, Follow the Moon Home was released in April of 2016. In addition, he has co-written two award-winning books, Going Blue and Make a Splash, both of which have won multiple awards, including Learning Magazine's 2011 Teachers' Choice Award for the Family, a Gold Nautilus Award, and a 2010 ForeWord Reviews Book of the Year Gold Award.[14]
