About the Book:

America’s Underwater Treasures is a unique book and reading experience, part grand adventure on the high seas and near shore, part intelligent inquiry into the status of the health of the ocean, and part visual poetry. It is also, in large part, a great armchair adventure with insights into the working team of a Cousteau expedition, enlightened by the philosophy and time-honored experience of Jean-Michel Cousteau. For almost 300 pages of stunning photography, engaging text and first-person narrative, the authors guide us through the underwater delights and challenges of the thirteen National Marine Sanctuaries and Marine National Monument that are the subject of the PBS television series of the same name.

Endorsement by Dr. Sylvia Earle

“My good friend and colleague Jean-Michel, his team of both experienced explorers from the days of Calypso and a new generation of divers, have created a magnificent work, blending art and natural history. Every American can be proud of the “treasures” found in this book. Every reader will become engaged by the message about why we must do more to safeguard our blue planet. America’s Underwater Treasures is a “must-have” for anyone who loves and cares about the sea.”
