Ocean Health Check Up

As scuba divers we become invested in the health of our oceans simply by being witness to the beauty of the reefs and the wondrous aquatic life that is contained within it. Today on Planet Earth Diver it’s an Ocean and US Coastal Water health check with Dr George H Leonard from Ocean Conservancy. George talks about the hot buttons facing the ocean today plus what is being done right now. While there are serious challenges facing our seas – there are some areas of progress and hope.

What I am impressed with the most about Ocean Conservancy is that they are working towards bringing business, government and recreational users of the Oceans together so that we all win – including the environment.

Mission 31 Fabien Cousteau

Mission 31 for Fabien Cousteau and his crew of Aquanauts was to spend 31 consecutive days at 65 feet in the only remaining undersea habitat/research facility, Aquarius. The mission was an overwhelming success. I talk with Fabien about his mission, what it was like in Aquarius, the health of the oceans and living in the Cousteau legacy.
