Keep Tahoe Blue has announced, Jean-Michel Cousteau, a world renowned oceanographer, is set to headline the first event in the environmental nonprofit’s 2025 Speaker Series, taking place at the University of Nevada, Reno at Lake Tahoe’s Wayne L. Prim Campus on Saturday, August 23.
Keep Tahoe Blue’s 2025 Speaker Series will feature innovators, pioneers, and changemakers in the fields of science, conservation, and sustainability at three events in the late summer and early fall. The speakers were selected to fascinate, inspire, and motivate people from all walks of life to better understand — then protect — not just Lake Tahoe, but treasured outdoor places around the globe.
The first keynote speaker is an explorer, diplomat, environmentalist, educator, film producer, author, architect, and diver. For over six decades, Jean-Michel Cousteau has dedicated himself to inspiring people of all generations and nations to act responsibly by protecting the ocean and our planet’s water ecosystems, which are so intricately connected to the survival of all life.
