Through Plant A Fish and its special Salvadorian-based ViVAZUL initiative, Fabien is committed to restoring endangered sea turtles—and empowering others to do the same. The eastern Pacific hawksbill turtles are the most endangered populations of sea turtles in the world. Hope was lost to save them until very recently, a small but viable population was found nestling in the mangroves of El Salvador. Now, Fabien makes frequent trips to El Salvador, where he works with partners like ViVAZUL to engage local communities in helping “replant” baby sea turtles.
Fabien talks with NBC’s Tracie Strahan about Plant A Fish and restoring oyster beds in the Hudson River.

Mind Of A Demon
Although Jaws premiered over three decades ago, public misconceptions about sharks remain, resulting in the steady rise of industrial fishing and the threat of species extinction. With the goal of dispelling popular misconceptions about sharks and gaining a better scientific understanding of their behavior, Fabien created Troy—a shark-shaped submersible designed to mimic the fish’s behavior. Armed with video cameras and full diving gear, Fabien and his team swam alongside great whites, capturing over 170 hours of footage from inside of Troy’s belly over the course of two years. In 2006, CBS aired Mind of a Demon With Fabien Cousteau, a primetime special that featured highlights from the Troy experience.
