ABOUT MISSION 31:
Fabien Cousteau's Mission 31 will break new ground in ocean exploration and also coincides with the 50th anniversary of a monumental legacy left by his grandfather Jacques-Yves Cousteau, who is credited with creating the first ocean floor habitats for humans and leading a team of ocean explorers on the first attempt to live and work underwater aboard Conshelf Two. The ambitious 30-day living experiment in the Red Sea succeeded as the first effort in saturation diving, proving that it could be done without suffering any ill effects. Mission 31 will broaden the original Cousteau experiment by one full day, 30 more feet of saturation and will broadcast each moment on multiple channels exposing the world to the adventure, risk and mystique of what lies beneath. This will be the first time a mission of this length has taken place in the Aquarius lab, the only underwater marine habitat and lab in the world, located 9 miles off the coast of Key Largo, Fla., and operated by Florida International University.
The overarching theme for Mission 31 is the human-ocean connection within the lens of exploration and discovery. Three main topics will be highlighted throughout Mission 31: climate change and the related challenges of ocean acidification; ocean pollution with an emphasis on the effects of plastics; and overconsumption of resources with specific focus on the decline of biodiversity.

This man never stops to amaze me. He's so passionate about what he's doing

[@tamaracandra]

Ian is so amazing for this world..

[@andreahones8699]

I think Ian could make reading a cereal packet interesting and exciting..he just drags you in and makes you want to be there!! Amazing compassion and awareness, love this man. x

[@cecilia2606]

It's amazing to see the selflessness of some people. As a Canadian university student studying Environmental science, I am happy to know that even if my contribution is small, there is someone (that average, everyday people recognize) who's making sure that the things that matter most are being spoken about. The only way we will see positive change is to educate people and share ideas, which Ian Somerhalder is doing an incredible job at. So thank you.

[@nadadarmawan6886]

Ian...we love you because you deserve to be loved. Keep up the good work for the world.

I was skeptical when Ian Somerhalder stared popping up in environmental legislation and activism, but I've got to say, I think he's doing a great job. Commendable.
