In June 2017, Tetiaroa Society was happy to host actor Johnny Depp at the Ecostation. Mr. Depp has been a supporter of the non-profit since it was created in 2013, and this was the first time that he had the opportunity to discover the island and see it for himself. His visit to the Ecostation included an introduction to the mosquito suppression and turtle monitoring programs and a discussion of Tetiaroa Society's conservation priorities.
