His love of nature, especially aquatic animals and creatures in the oceans, started my love for it as a child and I still love learning about all of the wonderful and sometimes strange lifeforms on this awesome planet that GOD has Created.

The world should focus a whole lot more on good people and their work. Learn good history rather than bad ones. Long term it will do good. Amazing person Cousteau !!

Jaques-Yves Cousteau was a gift to our planet...our seas, plants and wildlife. He was an angel from God sent to protect those who precious, innocent mammals and sea lives who could not speak for themselves. I can't wait to meet him in heaven one day...❤❤❤
