As our technology evolves, we will have the capacity to reach new, ever-increasing depths. The question is what kind of technology, in the end, do we want to deploy in the far reaches of the ocean? Tools of science, ecology and documentation, or the destructive tools of heavy industry? - Philippe Cousteau, Jr. 2 Share Now -

My grandfather was Jacques Cousteau, a pioneer of ocean exploration and the co-inventor of scuba diving.

Fossil fuels and mining is a short-term gambit. If we develop those resources at the expense of the environmental gold mine that is the Great Barrier Reef, we will all lose in the long run. - Philippe Cousteau, Jr. 10 Share Now -
