INSPIRING FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERS

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.
