She has made over 5,000 dives[8] and was inducted into the Women Divers Hall of Fame in 2000.[9]

An environmental activist, in 1998, Hauser co-founded Heal the Ocean,[10] a 3,000-member[11] environmental advocacy group in Santa Barbara, California, and serves as its executive director. The organization focuses on how wastewater technology impacts the ocean, facilitating wastewater treatment plant upgrade, and removal of septic tanks from creeks, marshes, bays, and beaches.[12][13][14] For this, and other work, Hauser and Heal the Ocean have been commended with recognition from the U.S. Congress, as well the Central Coast (California) Regional Water Quality Control Board (2006, 2008), the California State Assembly (2009), and in 2-13 a Joint Assembly/Senate Resolution (No. 404) from the California Legislature (Jackson/Williams).[15] For their 15 years of working to remove septic systems from 7 miles of south Santa Barbara County beaches, including the world-famous Rincon surf break, Hauser and Heal the Ocean organization received a Commendation from the Regional Water Quality Control Board on January 19, 2015, and commendations also came from the California State Senate and the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. Singer-songwriter Jack Johnson included Hauser on his 2017 list of 13 Coastal Heroes for Coastal Living Magazine.[16][17]
