In 2018, Richard E. Hyman founded Future Frogmen Inc., a nonprofit organization with the mission of empowering high school and college students to be ocean ambassadors and future leaders.
“I am pleased that my Future Frogmen efforts have found a new home with Save the Sound, an organization which shares our values and our sense of responsibility toward the health of Long Island Sound and the communities around it,” said Hyman, a Connecticut-based educator, conservationist, businessman and one-time crew member on Jacques Cousteau”™s research vessel, Calypso.
Save the Sound, a 50-year-old regional environmental action organization, will also expand its own content creation efforts, building on Future Frogmen”™s podcasting legacy by launching an original podcast series as a community partnership with Verso Studios at The Westport Library. Planning is underway for a six-episode season, which will explore various environmental issues challenging the Long Island Sound watershed. The season is expected to debut in mid-2023.
