Help Protect Coral Reefs Before It’s Too Late
In October 2025, scientists confirmed the world’s first major climate tipping point: the collapse of warm-water coral reefs. These ecosystems, which sustain a quarter of all marine life, can no longer survive without urgent global action.
Jacques Cousteau dedicated his life to exploring the underwater world and warning humanity of what would happen if we failed to protect it. Today, his words have never been more relevant.
The Cousteau Society continues his work by advancing marine protection, sharing ocean science, and inspiring people around the world to understand and care for the sea. Your donation supports that mission.
The loss of coral reefs affects more than the ocean. Their collapse threatens fisheries, coastal protection, and even the planet’s carbon balance. But acting now is far more effective and far less costly than trying to repair what is already lost.
When you give today, you help continue Jacques Cousteau’s legacy of understanding, respect, and action for the ocean. Together, we can protect the sea that connects us all.
