69 Read the text about the Famous French explorer. Say why people called him the Father of undersea exploration’.
Jacques Yves Cousteau (1910—1997) was a French sea explorer, scientist and photographer. He was also well-known as Captain Cousteau. When he started swimming underwater he thought about a way to explore underwater for longer. For this purpose Captain Cousteau created the aqualung or scuba together with the French engineer, Emile Gagnan.
The scuba opened up the world under the sea to all people who were fond of sea exploration.
Later, in 1950. Cousteau modified1 the ship Calypso into a special boat with instruments for diving and scientific research. During the next 40 years Captain Cousteau’s team explored the oceans, seas, lakes and rivers all over the world. Captain Cousteau made more than a hundred amazing films about the underwater world. He wrote 50 popular books about seas and oceans. He was also an experienced explorer who studied all forms of life in water. Cousteau opened up the life of the oceans to millions of people.
The books, films and TV programmes of Calypsotasks adventure drew public attention to the protection of ocean life and of nature in general. Captain Cousteau did a lot to protect the planet and arranged a worldwide campaign to save Antarctica from mineral exploitation. As a result now, this continent is protected for at least 50 years.
Captain Cousteau could be proud that through his life and his work he has left his mark on the planet and the oceans forever.
