Jacques Cousteau
Famous for his award-winning underwater films, television shows, 
and books that gave the world a view of life under the ocean, ecologist 
Jacques Cousteau was also a talented inventor and dedicated 
environmental activist.
Naval officer, explorer, ecologist, filmmaker, innovator, scientist, photographer, author, 
researcher . . . you could go on for pages about all of the things Jacques Cousteau did 
with his remarkable life!
Many people outside France don’t know that Costeau was a war hero; he led daring 
commando operations inside occupied France during World War II. And many may not 
know that he helped invent the modern aqualung - the SCUBA system that’s used around 
the world.
Most people remember Jacques Cousteau for his amazing films, television shows, and 
books about the ocean. On board his ship Calypso, Cousteau and his crew traveled the 
world to film their documentaries about the life that teems beneath the surface of the 
water.
In the 1950s and 60s, Cousteau’s films marked the first time the majority of people had 
ever seen footage of undersea life in its natural state. And it was the first time that the 
general public heard about the dangers of pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction, and 
other threats to the natural world.
Jacques Cousteau is credited with being one of the first popular ecologists, inspiring a 
whole generation of young people to be more aware of their environment.


His long career (Cousteau lived to age eighty-seven) contained many other amazing 
achievements:
- The first underwater archaeology operation using autonomous diving;
- Discovering how porpoises use natural sonar to guide themselves;
- Winning the top prize at the world-famous Cannes Film Festival for his 
documentary The Silent World;
Organizing a successful campaign to stop the dumping of nuclear waste in the oceans; 
and Winning a long list of awards and medals from grateful nations and organizations 
around the world.
Through more than 120 television documentaries and fifty books, Cousteau helped make 
science and nature popular topics for everyday people, and he left a legacy that carries on 
his work. The Cousteau Society he founded to protect the environment now has 300,000 
members. As rich and famous as he became, Jacques Cousteau always said he was just a 
man trying to do his bit to help the world. “It takes generosity to discover the whole 
through others,” he said. “If you realize you are only a violin, you can open yourself up to 
the world by playing your role in the concert.”
