JacquesYves Cousteau
Jacques‑Yves Cousteau was born in France on 11th June, 1910. He was an explorer, ecologist, film‑maker, photographer and researcher who studied
the sea and all forms of life that live in water. He also helped to develop the aqualung, the first piece of scuba diving equipment. Cousteau explored the
world’s oceans on his boat, Calypso and made a lot of documentaries, which brought unforgettable images into millions of homes. Thanks to him coral
reefs, fearsome sharks and amazing fish all came to life on people’s TV screens! His documentaries have also helped people understand the unique
problems the world’s marine environments face from water pollution and dangerous human actions. In 1956, he received an Academy Award
for his breath taking undersea documentary, The Silent World. Cousteau died in 1997 at the age of 87 but his grandchildren continue his work to this day
