Plant a Fish is a newly-launched nonprofit, headquartered in New York City, by third-generation ocean explorer and environmental advocate, Fabien Cousteau, whose mission is to empower communities to become involved with responsible 're-planting' of key marine species in their local habitats in distressed bodies of water around the world. Initial targeted projects in 2010-2011 will include responsible re-planting of oysters in New York Harbor, sea turtles in El Salvador, mangroves in South Florida, corals in the Maldives.
Growing up on the salt-stained decks of his famous Grandfather's ships, Calypso and Alcyone, Fabien Cousteau was destined to continue in his family's footsteps -- exploring and tirelessly working to protect our planet's immense and endangered marine habitats.
