Alexandra Cousteau, the founder of Blue Legacy, a nonprofit dedicated to our beautiful water-based planet, and Live Earth Run for Water spokesperson, recently sat down with the folks at EcoStiletto to chat. Cousteau spent her days growing up on grand oceanic expeditions with her famous grandfather Jacques-Yves and father Philippe, and learned to scuba dive at the tender age of seven.

They spoke to Cousteau about all things water, The Great Pacific Garbage Patch, Planet Blue’s “Blue August” initiative, in which she and her brother Philippe, hosted a month’s worth of water-focused programming for the network, and more. Click here to check out her interview with EcoStiletto.
