The Cousteau name is connected today to oceanography and ocean conservation, and the French naval officer, ocean explorer and coinventor of the Aqua-Lung will tell about his extensive undersea investigations and how he brought marine biology to the masses through his TV specials.

The famed marine biologist will be portrayed by Chautauqua scholar Doug Mishler on the webinar platform Big Marker. Links to the virtual performance will be sent to ticket holders through their email one day prior to the performance.

Tickets are $20 for general admission; $15, seniors 65-plus and students; and $10 for museum members. Visit www.museumonmain.org or call the museum at 462-2766.
