Cousteau calls on all countries to do more to save and restore oceans
OTTAWA — Even the family that pioneered efforts to protect the worlds’ oceans once believed you could throw garbage overboard without consequence.
Jean-Michel Cousteau, environmental filmmaker and son of famed marine conservationist Jacques Cousteau, says when he was a small child and his father first took him scuba diving, they too believed the “ocean was a bottomless receptacle for whatever waste we didn’t want on land.”
In a new 3D documentary, Wonders of the Sea, being released in Canada on Feb. 1, Jean-Michel Cousteau is hoping to show the rest of the world why that thinking is so wrong.
