About FABIEN COUSTEAU OCEAN LEARNING CENTER INC

The Fabien Cousteau Ocean Learning Center (FCOLC) is a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2016 by ocean explorer and filmmaker Fabien Cousteau to promote marine conservation through education, research, and community-led restoration. The organization develops curricula, runs field conservation programs (including sea turtle, coral reef, and mangrove restoration), and organizes beach cleanups and community engagement projects.

FCOLC leverages the legacy and public reach of Mission 31 to deliver STEAM-focused educational materials and virtual experiences to schools and communities; it also partners with local universities and community groups on monitoring and research projects. Recent organizational activity (2021–2024) includes published impact materials, ongoing international sea-turtle protection work, curriculum pack distribution for K–12, and continued program fundraising and grant-supported projects.

The EIN (81-1548424) and tax-exempt status have been confirmed through federal filings and nonprofit registries; the organization maintains an active web presence, files annual Form 990 returns, and conducts donor-facing programs and fundraising.
