Cousteau had seen places in the middle of
the sea that no one had seen before. These
voyages(航行) made Cousteau worried about sea
life. Sea creatures(生物) lives were in danger.
He saw that pollution from factories had killed
fish and plants. Cousteau then thought of a way to
show people what was happening in the sea. He
wanted to make films about the sea.
So Cousteau changed a ship into a travelling
boat where he made films. But they werent
helpful to solve the problem. Factories didnt stop
polluting. They felt it would cost too much money
to stop.

sea and he also showed many wild places in his
films. He called for people to help protect the
sea. When he found that the problems could be

help. Soon new laws were made to protect sea
animals and plants.
