Jacques Cousteau Many people know that the earth is covered with water. In fact, 3/4 of the earth is water. The major oceans (i.e. Atlantic, Indian, etc.) are salt water. We can't drink salt water. Sadly enough, we are destroying our oceans and various other parts of our precious earth. But there are people out there who commit their lives to preserving the earth. One man in specific has accomplished such a thing. He has worked to preserve the oceans and the rest of the marine world from our destruction. He has used modern technology and has written several books to try to make the people of earth better understand the gentle world beneath the water and to prevent it from being destroyed. This man I am talking about is none other than Jacques Cousteau. I have written this paper to describe his life and major things he has done. History and Background Jacques Cousteau was born on June 11th, 1910 in St.-André-de-Cubzac, France. Jacques was always interested with water in his youth. When Cousteau was 10, he visited the U.S. where he spent several months in New York City which included time playing stickball with the neighborhood children. He left the U.S. with a sense of wonderment about the high technology of this country.
