Editorial Reviews

This collection of videos follows the world's greatest oceanographer as he shows us the hidden worlds of the deep. Whether it's in arctic or tropical waters, Cousteau shows us the beauty of the plants, fish, and other animals. An ardent conservationalist, Cousteau's work captures the beauty of underwater treasures that many of us would never have seen - except through his films.

This review is from: Alaska - Outrage at Valdez [VHS] (VHS Tape)

On March 24, 1989, the supertanker Exxon Valdez ran aground in the pristine waters of Alaska's Prince William Sound, spilling 11 million gallons of crude oil. In this Cousteau Society Special Report, Jean-Michel Cousteau, son of Jacques Cousteau, takes us on a voyage to investigate first-hand the devastating impact of the US's largest oil spill. Amid the majestic mountains and ice floes of this serene setting, the leaking oil spreads like a virus staining and often killing everything it encounters. Harbor seals, sea otters, and bald eagles fall victim to the tragic accident. The Cousteau team questions the lack of precautions, laments the slow clean-up response, and outlines preventive measures so such a disaster may never happen again.
Outstanding educational viewing fo the entire family.
