Since the age of seven—when he was tossed overboard, scuba gear and all, by his legendary father—Jean-Michel Cousteau has explored the ocean realm. An award-winning documentary filmmaker and president of the Ocean Futures Society, Cousteau used his work to persuade President Bush to declare the Northwest Hawaiian Islands a Marine National Monument. His new National Geographic book My Father, The Captain: My Life With Jacques Cousteau, celebrates the centennial of the older Cousteau’s birth and offers an intimate look at the life Jean-Michel shared with his father.
Presented in honor of the centennial of Jacques Cousteau’s birth.
