JEAN-MICHEL COUSTEAU: OCEAN ADVENTURES
Grades 7-12; 60 minutes each.

A generation ago, Jacques-Yves Cousteau revealed the oceans’ mysteries to millions of landlocked PBS television viewers and inspired a groundswell of public awareness of the unique problems faced by the world’s marine environments. Now, 30 years later, Jacques’ son Jean-Michel Cousteau and his team of "oceanauts" have set sail to explore dangerous and spectacular locales across the globe.

101. “Voyage to Kure" sails to the outermost islands in the Northwest Hawaiian Island Archipelago where diverse wildlife populations are found to be struggling against the effects of pollution, mining, over-fishing and development.

102. “America’s Underwater Treasures”. Jacques Cousteau’s son and grandchildren return to the oceans to explore the 13 gorgeous, little-known underwater treasures that comprise America’s national marine sanctuaries. Robert Redford narrates.
